Drank as part of a flight of Haut Brion and La Mission Haut Brion at our table of nine at the Steve Hanson's Primehouse, NYC during the Wine and Food Society of New York annual BYOB.
Drank Haut Brion (61,75,81,82,83,89,90,98)
Drank La Mission Haut Brion (66,78,90,99)
1961 Château Haut-Brion 99 Points
France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
Pure and intense magnificence. This wine is like the northwest woods with a campfire greeting the adventurer to a world of cedar and smoke. As you embrace this full-bodied darkly deep and transparent red classic, the sweet raspberry and blackberry fruits are layered with spice and chocolate. Is this the king of all desserts, a sumptuous meal, or just nirvana? Rate a 99 but is probably a perfect 100.

Decanted for an hour plus this full-bodied, rich and ripe with balanced tannin, wine is a complex classic everything a Bordeaux should be with a nose of sweet fruit and herb. The tobacco and smoke linger with the balanced tannins, this is delicious drinking!

Medium bodied, dark ruby color with ripe tannins and good black currant fruit, there are earthy aromas of herbs and spices with the usual leather and cedar.

A Ripe and fragrant wine, the cassis merges with the toasted smoke-herb aroma. Rich and delicious, balanced and beautiful, this is a full-bodied forward and fruity wine-with gobs of concentration that makes this a meal in itself.
