Description

A great vintage often compared to the 1945. ***** Michael Broadbent

12/5/2012 - GGUYATT LIKES THIS WINE:95 Points
Tasted amazingly fresh for a 50 year-old wine, and really opened up after about an hour. Nice dark colour, tobacco and fruit notes on the nose. Still has life left...'61 bordeaux lives up to its rep! Amusing to me that it seemed like it needed time when we first popped the cork.

8/23/2012 - WINOPOPS3 WROTE:
Florida trip. Amazingly well preserved. Bottle and label pristine. Cork stained through. Very little if any bricking. Looks and smells like a ten year old wine. Tobacco, dried flowers, beautiful fruit still prominent. Nice finish.

1/1/2004 - KEVIN H WROTE:97 Points
An historic note. I bought half a case of this wine (Danish Bottled) at Auction in London in 1998. No note in Parker so it was quite cheap (around £35 per bottle) - though Broadbent rated it highly in 1991. A truly memorable wine. Apart from one low level bottle that was badly oxidised, the other five were all consistently magnificent in the pure cassis mould of claret. Could easily have been mistaken for a Chateau Latour from a good vintage. Certainly it was better for me than the `61 Montrose and Grand Puy Lacoste that I have also had and it remains at number 4 in my all-time list of greatest wines drunk. I have had many bottles of Chasse Spleen from various different vintages over the years and it is one of my favourite Cru Bourgeois but this vintage really was in a different league. Worth seeking out.
