Chateau Haut-Brion [Multiple Vintage Listing] Chateau Haut-Brion Pessac-Leognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classe 1970 (1 bt) u. 4.5cm, sign of seepage, stained and slightly nicked label 1975 (10 bts) u. 4x3cm, 2x3.5cm, 1x4cm, slightly damp stained labels, worn capsules Lot 223 11 bts (cn) per lot: HKD 16000-22000 per lot: USD 2000-2750 My overriding impression of this stunning First Growth is that it is the silkiest, most perfumed, most fine-grained of all the legendary top chateaux of Bordeaux. Haut-Brion has an inner 'spirituality' to it, a haunting quality that lingers long on the senses. Its unique position on the edge of the city of Bordeaux gives it a micro-climate that fosters ripeness and generosity - there is a velvety warmth to the wine. The extra 'plus' to the property is the family ownership and its long-standing link with three generations of another family, the Delmas, on the managing side which has provided a totally beneficial continuity to the estate. Haut-Brion often blooms early among the First Growths but, unlike human beings, it continues to grow more beautiful in middle age and retains the bone structure and elegance of a very distinguished old age!
