"The 1959 Haut-Brion did not live up to expectations. I have had nearly perfect examples of the 1959, often preferring it ever so slightly to the 1961 when tasted side by side. That was not the case in Munich. Although the 1959 was outstanding, it seemed less concentrated, more disjointed, and more evolved than the 1961, displaying a more roasted aromatic profile, and less sweetness and unctuosity than previous bottles"

"The 1959 Haut-Brion is deep in color. It is blessed with a truly fabulous nose of mulberry, desiccated orange peel, star anis and here, a faint touch of hickory. It is ebullient and decadent, much more than the 1961 for example. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and lower acidity than other coeval vintages. Stylistically, this particular bottle entertains a bit of Côte-Rôtie in the mix. Sage and clove enhance the precocious black fruit towards the potent yet ineffably harmonious finish. This is a fabulous Haut-Brion that might just be in the final stages of its drinking plateau. Superb. Tasted at a private dinner in Beaune."
