Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1961
Pessac-Léognan, 1er cru classé
Levels: three 3cm, three 3.5cm, five 4cm, one 4.5cm; one sign of old seepage, one wine stained label, two lightly bin soiled labels, bought on release by this consignor
"Only four more recent notes. Sweet, with perfectly assimilated tannins and acidity; a superb magnum: rich, complete, harmonious, good length and a very high mark at the Aschau blind tasting (1994) Most recently, a magnum, and easily the best wine at a very weird tasting in the Muse Baccarat, Paris. It could only have been Haut-Brion and despite showing some age, excellent." MB, October 2000.
1 dozen bottles per lot
