Chateau Haut Brion [Multiple Vintage Listing] Chateau Haut Brion Pessac-Leognan (Graves), 1er Cru Classe 1995 (3 bts) Excellent levels, labels very slightly damp stained 1996 (3 bts) Excellent levels, labels very slightly damp stained Lot 1220 6 bts (cn) per lot: GBP 1100-1300 per lot: USD 1700-2000 per lot: EUR 1300-1500 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!
