Chateau Haut Brion 1959

While this lacks the concentration of the 1961, the otherworldly, silky texture here is off the hook! At full maturity, this breath-taking wine offers a complex array of campfire scents, burning embers, Cuban cigar, tar, leaves, and currants. The palate is even better with its waves of tobacco-drenched red fruits and earth, all wrapped up in silk.
