This was exceptional. Rich, clean and full bodied. Absolutely screams pessac with aromas of blackberry liquor flowing over round stones. Such class, grace and elegance — 7 years ago

This is an excellent bottle of wine to drink after your husband crashes your brand new car into the side of our garage door. No he was not drinking prior to said accident — 10 years ago

Gorgeous and delicious, such grace and power with tons left in the tank for many years to come. Very Cali Cab like texture in the palate for me. 93-94

Quel beau vin avec une jolie texture de Cab Californien de haut niveau pour moi. Superbe et beaucoup d’années devant lui. — 5 years ago

I like this and it’s a great example of left bank. 2012 too, so a good example from a tough vintage. Has been open for two days.

It’s very typical of the region so it’s song is complex and stately, with a quiet grace. Oaky tannins leap forth, very dusty and earthy. Some pipe tobacco notes. Generous blackberry flavors and a hint of mint on the backend. Good structure and in prime drinking state right now. — 7 years ago

Had a glass at Grace in Portland, ME (former church, on coravin). Absolutely delicious. Very smooth; doesn't linger. Expensive, but worth it. — 9 years ago

The 1945 La Mission Haut-Brion from the château cellar is transcendental. It is blessed with the most beautiful bouquet you can imagine, effortless and natural, featuring woodland, red-berried fruits, a minerally quality and a faint touch of leafiness; given time to settle, it develops a lovely gamy note. The palate is medium- rather than full-bodied and sublimely balanced, upholding that effortless grace with an elegant, bittersweet, dried orange peel finish. One of the most harmonious wines I have ever consumed. Perfect. Tasted at the La Mission Haut-Brion vertical in London in September 2009. (Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2020)

1959 Demi-Sec: very lemon peel nose, very delicate with light mineral Flint notes. Lovely harmonised palate with beautiful grace of deft sugar, and clean juicy acidity. All citrus with a hint of honey, and only very light nut and savoury on the finish. Sublime and in perfect harmony. On re sniff there were very distinct fennel and dill notes after 30minutes in glass — 11 years ago
