Description
Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1989
Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classé
Levels into the neck, 4 slightly nicked labels; wines come from 3 different importers
Thicker, 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
