Chateau Haut Brion 1971 Chateau Haut Brion 1971 Pessac-Leognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classe u. 1x4cm, 1x4.5cm, excellent color and clarity, slightly soiled labels Lot 81 4 bts (cn) per lot: HKD 11000-15000 per lot: USD 1400-1900 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!
