Description

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1975 Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru ClasséHeavily cellar-soiled and stained labels, soiled and corroded capsules, 4 slightly sunken corks, 1 slightly raised cork, excellent color and clarityDark 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 975 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
