Lot Details
Description
Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1990
Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classé
Levels into the neck
Last tasted from magnum in 2013. Here you get all the cigary brilliance, together with brambly black fruit, complexity and wonderful structure. The balance between fruit and tannin is superb. A very successful wine, with enveloping cedary sweetness at the end. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
