Description

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1975 Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classéu. 2t/hs, cellar soiled and damp stained labels, slightly corroded capsulesDark as the night. Immensely complex, intellectually fascinating nose - a pretty good sensual experience too! Chocolate and spices. On the palate, so full and sweet. A wondrous wine of immense allure and seduction. Fresh acidity to match the sweetness. Heavenly. Ripe plums and great Havanas at the end. I think this is a chef d'oeuvre. Another bottle had an inky, cassis, aniseed nose and the taste was so soft, sweet and violetty. The wine remains a complete one-off. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 972 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
