CHATEAU LA MISSION HAUT-BRION 1976 |

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1976 Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classéu. 5bn, 7vts, bin-soiled labelsIn 2017, incredibly aromatic, spice and tobacco nose, with a whiff of sage and chocolate. A marvellous impact on the palate, pure classy flavour, with finesse of texture and such freshness - so that is why I did not get the year (hot!), but was in the decade. Carries on with this cedary, sweet, succulent taste, enticing to the end - which came too soon. Serena Sutcliffe, MW12 bts (oc)Estimates are per lot
