Château Haut-Brion 1961
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Corroded capsules. Badly bin-soiled labels, two stained. Levels: two 4.5cms, one 5cms, two 5.5cms and one 6cms below base of corks
Tasting note: The dark garnet-coloured 1961 Haut-Brion is pure perfection, with gloriously intense aromas of tobacco, cedar, chocolate, minerals, and sweet red and black fruits complemented by smoky wood. This has always been a prodigious effort (it was the debut vintage for Jean Delmas). It is extremely full-bodied, with layers of viscous, sweet fruit. This wine is akin to eating candy. Consistently an astonishing wine! Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998)
