CHATEAU LA MISSION HAUT-BRION 1989 |

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1989 Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru ClasséExcellent levels, color and clarity, labels bin soiled, wrinkled and damp affected, 2 heavily bin soiled, very slightly scuffed capsules, owc damp affected and lid replaced by cardboardThicker, darker colour than the '90, but more mature. Wonderfully dense, intense, concentrated bouquet of vanilla, violets and cigars. Blackberry compote. Totally rich and mouth coating. So thick and lush. Touch of Seville oranges and cloves. Pure exotica. I think even more exciting than the sleek, beautiful '90. Phenomenal. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 10012 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
