Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1955
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Slightly corroded capsules. Bin-soiled labels, one of which is very stained. Levels: four upper and one mid-shoulder
Tasting note: Tasted 4 times with consistent notes. A dark ruby-colored wine with noticeable amber/rust, the 1955 Haut-Brion offers a huge, fragrant bouquet of walnuts, tobacco, wet stones, and smoky, cassis-like fruit. Medium-bodied, with extraordinary elegance and sweetness, this rich, concentrated wine exhibits no hard edges. Remarkably youthful, as well as concentrated and impeccably well-balanced, it is capable of lasting for another 10-20 years. 97 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 95 (Oct 1994)
