Chateau Haut-Brion [Multiple Vintage Listing] Chateau Haut-Brion Pessac-Leognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classe 1961 (1 bt) u. 5.5cm, soiled labels 1966 (7 bts) u. 2x3cm, 1x3.5cm, 1x4cm, 2x4.5cm, 1x5.5cm, soiled labels, 2 corroded capsules, signs of seepage 1967 (1 bt) u. 4cm, soiled label Lot 222 9 bts (sc) per lot: HKD 20000-26000 per lot: USD 2500-3250 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!
