Chateau Haut-Brion 1961 Chateau Haut-Brion 1961 Pessac-Leognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classe u. 1vts, 1hs, faded, soiled and scuffed labels, slightly sunken corks. Scuffed capsule, excellent color and clarity The most extraordinary complex nose of spice, flowers and woodsmoke in an empty fireplace. Amazing liqueur texture - Haut-Brion is thicker than other wines. Just fireworks on the palate. A magnum emphasised the Havana and violets hedonistic elements - simply sumptuous. So utterly luscious you could almost eat it! Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 1949 2 bts (2 cn)) per lot: USD 2000-3000 My overriding impression of this stunning First Growth is that it is the silkiest, most perfumed, most fine-grained of all the legendary top chateaux of Bordeaux. Haut-Brion has an inner 'spirituality' to it, a haunting quality that lingers long on the senses. Its unique position on the edge of the city of Bordeaux gives it a micro-climate that fosters ripeness and generosity - there is a velvety warmth to the wine. The extra 'plus' to the property is the family ownership and its long-standing link with three generations of another family, the Delmas, on the managing side which has provided a totally beneficial continuity to the estate. Haut-Brion often blooms early among the First Growths but, unlike human beings, it continues to grow more beautiful in middle age and retains the bone structure and elegance of a very distinguished old age!
