Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1959 (3 BT)

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1959 

Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classé 

u. 3bn, 1 slightly nicked label, 1 slightly torn label, 1 wrinkled capsule, Nicolas stamped label

Last tasted from magnum in 2014. Deeper colour than Haut Brion '59, almost purple. More concentrated, focused and intense than Haut Brion. Terrific tannin, power and richness. Inky. Great depth and vigour. A very great drinking experience. A wonderful exercise in style comparison with the neighbour over the road. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
