Lot Details

Description

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1998

Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classé

Slightly nicked label


In 2023, showing in stupendous fashion. A great, blooming, Pessac-Léognan bouquet, full of almost oriental promise! Mouth-filling, with ripe, spicy fruit and terrific structure. Utterly satisfying and multi-dimensional in flavour and depth. Could well be the best Left Bank wine of the vintage - each sip convinced me of it. One felt honoured to see such vinous perfection, an absolute monument to both the property and the appellation. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

WA 98
