A departure for Linden's tastings in that there were both whites and reds. The Laville an old style white that was lovely after a bit of time in the glass. The reds showed a marked vintage character - a good spine of acid, lightness, spice and grip, and the wines showed their characters well - the Ausone showing metal and iodine, the Lafite ethereal, the Latour broad and butch. I enjoyed them all immensely and was more enthusiastic than most present. But all agreed that the flight of sweeties at the end were uniformly fantastic - luscious, fresh and long.
1962 Château Laville Haut-Brion Blanc 92 Points
France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
Earthy, musty nose, fat and ripe on palate, citrus, wax, lanolin, very long and once the mustiness blew off, this was glorious
