Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1961
Pessac-Léognan, 1er cru classé
Lot 107 levels: six 4.0cm, three 4.5cm, three 5.0cm; lightly corroded capsules with slight signs of old seepage, lightly bin soiled labels, one heavily bin soiled and torn label with very slightly depressed cork and corroded capsule at top, mixed importers
Lot 108 levels: one 5.0cm, one 5.5cm, two 6.0cm; lightly corroded capsules with slight signs of old seepage, one torn capsule, two lightly bin soiled labels, one lightly damp stained label, one heavily damp stained and torn label, mixed importers
"The 1961 Haut-Brion was an explosively flavorful bottle, richly autumnal with deep notes of truffle, soy and roasting meat. On the palate the wine was fat and rich, with a soft, velvety texture and a penetrating finish. This is lovely now, and could probably hold, but will not likely continue to develop." CC, At a Christie's dinner at Lung King Heen in Hong Kong, May 2011
