CHATEAU LA MISSION HAUT-BRION 1961 |

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1961 Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classéu. 2ts, 1hs, 1h/m, from different importers, scuffed and bin soiled labels in which 1 heavily damp stained on top, slightly corroded short capsules, 2 slightly sunken corksThis 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.
