Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1961 Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru ClasséLot 6382: u. 2hs, excellent color and clarity, slightly bin soiled and scuffed labels, corroded capsules, 1 minor sign of old seepage, 1 cut capsule to reveal fully branded cork, Lot 6383: u. 1vts, 1ts, slightly bin soiled labels otherwise excellent appearance for its ageThis is a true cigar-box nose - the acme of this individual character of La Mission in particular, and Pessac-Léognan in general. Extraordinary rich, melting, mouth-enveloping, with cloves and all the damp undergrowth of a Domaine de la Romanée-Conti wine - plus Cohibas! A very great experience and a stupendous wine.
