Details
Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1959
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
Bin-soiled and stained labels. Levels: bottle 5 cms and half-bottles 3 cms and 5 cms below the corks
Tasting note: Perfection at a tasting in 1995, a beautiful, fully mature, brown-rimmed wine with bouquet surging out of the glass. Very sweet - with that distinctive, earty, tobacco-leaf taste, lunching at Ch Langoa. Most recently, by a short head the best wines at La Réserve's Haut-Brion/La Mission tasting: a wonderful gradation of colour; showing age but sweet and mellow, with a lovely edge-of-honeycomb scent after an hour in the glass. A positive, sweet entry and soft. All the component parts working in harmony. Last tasted June 2000 ***** Michael Broadbent, Vintage Wine
