Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1986

Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classé

u. 1vts, otherwise levels bn or into the neck, labels damp-stained and bin-soiled

A gloriously rich, undergrowth, almost "Burgundian" bouquet of great impact, power and voluptuousness. Terrific fat overlaying the tannins. An absolute "grand classique". Great long finish. Terrific wine - and an '86 monument. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
