Chateau Haut Brion 1961 Pessac Leognan, 1er Cru Classe u: 5. 5cm, lightly corroded capsule, bin soiled label "The dark garnet-colored 1961 Haut-Brion is pure perfection, with gloriously intense aromas of tobacco, cedar, chocolate, minerals, and sweet red and black fruits complemented by smoky wood. This has always been a prodigious effort (it was the debut vintage for Jean Delmas). It is extremely full-bodied, with layers of viscous, sweet fruit. This wine is akin to eating candy. Consistently an astonishing wine!" R. Parker, 100 pts. 01/98 1 bottle
