Château Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1966

Mike Saviage

Tawny and dark. Almost opaque. Notes of cola, smoked meat, earth and with air some sweet fruit emerges. Briary. Short finish. This showed well and held steady over 5 hours. Nice showing.

This bottle of ‘66 was very off in the most peculiar way; Smelled like smoked peat moss.

Alexandre Pagliano

Medium dark robe, nose of steak tartare and cedar. Very complex and elegant in the mouth, great acidity and balance, licorice, dried flowers, a hint of dry port. Finishes on a beautiful acid note and is such a companion. Truly great bottle. You can barely tell the vintage.

Wow

Jay Ciccarelli

Dusty, cedar, wet leaf, pencil, burnt chocolate. A bit over the hill and length drops away quick like but hey! Wine made 3 years before man made it to the moon I’d say it was pretty damn nice.

Interesting but past time

#openthatbottlenight #otbn Terrible at first, totally undrinkable. Seemed maderized. But then after about 4 hours really started to open up. Not sure it was full ‘66 Haut-Brion experience but it was pretty special 24 hours after popping!
