The 1945 Haut-Brion is a vintage that I have only encountered once before in April 2004 – unequivocally a perfect bottle. Initially, this second bottle 14 years later suggested that I might have simply been very fortunate on that occasion. It was only after thirty minutes in the glass that it magically coalesces and transmogrifies into an ineffably profound wine. Deep in color without quite the same clarity as either the 1959 or 1961, it offer...

The Story

Château Haut-Brion is the oldest and by far the smallest of the "Premiers Grands Crus" vineyards of the Gironde 1855 classification. Château Haut-Brion is one of the few remaining family-owned domains of the Bordeaux region with a history going back to the 16th century. It has been owned by the American Dillon family since 1935.

 

There is an amazing dual hit of black fruit and fine-grained tannins here, which is rounded off with a wonde...

Vuosikerta 1945

The world’s best wine vintage – 1947 or 1945? Tastingbook tasted all the best wines from these two great vintages.

If the wine producers from different regions were asked to name the best vintages from their winemaking history, the most would name 1947 or 1945 as one of the great ones. If we then compared them together there would be most likely only one vintage that the most if not every producer had named on list – 1947.

We wanted to t...

An exploration of the 1945 Chateau Haut-Brion is akin to a gentle perusal through a rich tapestry of history. In the glass, it graces the eye with a delicate, translucent garnet, the edges gently bronzed, bearing testament to its many years in repose.

The nose is a graceful ballet of dried roses, worn leather, and an enchanting forest floor character. Sweetness from an echo of dried figs and prunes entwine with an elegant tobacco leaf note, creating a bouquet that is complex and mesmerizing.

On the palate, this venerable wine tells a tale of exquisite decay and enduring vigor. The fruit, once vivid, has transformed into subtle hints of dried cherries and figs, seamlessly entwining with nuanced notes of truffle, old cigar box, and a gentle earthiness, characteristics so cherished in well-aged Bordeaux.

The tannins, once formidably structured, have softened into a gentle, velvety embrace, while the acidity still flickers with a lively spark, sustaining a remarkable balance and vigor that defies its age. The finish is lingering, a gentle whisper of its storied past and the grandeur of its epoch.

In essence, the Chateau Haut-Brion 1945 provides not just a tasting experience, but a journey through time, revealing the soul of its wartime vintage and allowing a momentary communion with the bygone era from which it arose."

The 1945 Haut Brion is another one of my favorite things from the greatest vintage of all-time, and this bottle was some sexy goodness.  It had a stonier nose, but all that rich, caramel and toffee action that makes this wine so great.  It had a very thick finish, enough to make me smack that (97).

The 1945 Haut-Brion is poured against the legendary 1945 Mouton and might just have come out on top. It is difficult to put this wine into words. Showing modest bricking, it presents a sublime bouquet of vibrant red fruit, warm gravel, wilted rose petals and a hint of earthenware. It is crystalline in terms of definition. The palate follows suit with pitch-perfect acidity, a very slight, refreshing hint of balsamic, and finely chiseled tannins. Beguiling in every way, this is a profound Haut-Brion that is absolutely flawless. Tasted at Koala's 1945 dinner.

Sisäpiiritietoa

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 31/10/1994 Tasted 5 Times With Consistent Notes The 1945 Haut-Brion is profound. It demonstrates the essence of Haut-Brion's style. The color remains a healthy, opaque garnet with only slight amber at the edge. A huge, penetrating bouquet of sweet black fruits, smoked nuts, tobacco, and tar soars from the glass. The wine possesses extraordinary density and extraction of fruit, massive, full-bodied, unctuously-textured flavors that reveal little tannin, and copious quantities of glycerin and alcohol. It is a fabulously rich, monumental example of a fully mature Haut-Brion that exhibits no signs of decline. Awesome!
