What the critics say
98 VMVinous, Neal Martin, 01-09-2021
My second encounter with the magnificent 1953 La Mission Haut-Brion was comparable to the ex-château first. This remains vital on the nose with scents of melted tar, Montecristo cigars and background aromas of espresso that all tincture the red fruit. It's not far away from the 1945. The palate is medium-bodied with filigreed tannins, a paradigm of the “iron fist in a velvet glove” adage. It’s harmonious and poised on the finish, and while it does not possess the grip to convince me that long-term cellaring should be considered, it has a sense of finesse that is utterly beguiling. Tasted at the La Mission Haut-Brion dinner in London.
Drink 2021 to 2030

Tasted 6 Times With Consistent Notes I have been told my a number of people who have followed the 1953 vintage from its youth that it drank exceptionally well in the late fifties. Apparently, it has lost none of its hedonistic, supple, explosive fruit. It will not get any better, so consumption is recommended between 1994-1997. It offers a delicious smoky, berry fragrance, a silky, creamy texture, and a long, heady finish. The low acidity provides vibrance, and the tannins have melted away. Should you be fortunate enough to have the beauty cellared, drink it over the next several years.
Drink 1994 to 1997
