Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1945
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
U.S. slip labels. One vintage not visible. Two very bin-soiled and damaged labels, one slightly torn, one slightly stained, otherwise good appearance. Levels: one top, one just below top-shoulder, four upper, four mid/upper and two mid/shoulder
Tasting note: The 1945 Haut-Brion is profound. It demonstrates the essence of Haut-Brion's style. The color remains a healthy, opaque garnet with only slight amber at the edge. A huge, penetrating bouquet of sweet black fruits, smoked nuts, tobacco, and tar soars from the glass. The wine possesses extraordinary density and extraction of fruit, massive, full-bodied, unctuously-textured flavors that reveal little tannin, and copious quantities of glycerin and alcohol. It is a fabulously rich, monumental example of a fully mature Haut-Brion that exhibits no signs of decline. Awesome 100 points! Robert Parker, 1994
