Note di degustazione
The 1961 Laville Haut-Brion is absolutely gorgeous and, after 56 years, appears undimmed by age. Honeyed/straw in colour, the 1961 is rich and generous on the nose, with a touch of eucalyptus and juniper berries. There is a sense of extravagance about this Laville Haut-Brion and then after a couple of hours in the glass it becomes more refined and graceful. There is outstanding delineation in situ, harmonious and poised with a nigh perfect seam of acidity. It is imbued with a very subtle salinity: a gentle and sophisticated mature white Bordeaux that might not be up there with say, the 1962 or 1964...but it is not far behind.

Powerfully aromatic. Creamy lanolin with slightly catty nose. Medium body with real freshness. Slight burnt note on the end. Very long. Lively. Slightly dry end. (Four times cheaper than the 2016.) (JR)
