Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1989 Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru ClasséLot 8148: 2 very slightly nicked labels, Lot 8149: 8 labels stamped with Selection Riedel, 2 slightly scuffed labelsThicker, 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 WA 100 8147:12 bts (sc) 8148:12 bts (sc) 8149:12 bts (sc)Estimates are per lot
