Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1959
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
In original wooden case. Some slightly discoloured capsules. Some slightly damaged labels. Levels: three 3.5cms, two 4cms, four 5cms, two 5.5cms, one 6.5cms below base of corks
Tasting note: Thanks to the vineyard's deep Graves gravel, the wine is distinctively different to its peers further north in the Medoc in appearance, nose and taste - yet it also has elegance and finesse. Very distinctive nose, tobacco-like, earthy fragrance, surging out of the glass; full of fruit yet concentrated. Most recently: a wonderful graduation of colour; showing age but sweet and mellow, with a lovely edge of honeycomb scent after an hour in the glass. A positive, sweet entry, soft yet assertive. Above all, all the component parts working in harmony. Last tasted April 2003 ***** M.B.
