CHATEAU LA MISSION HAUT-BRION 1959 |

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1959 Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classéu. ts, bin-soiled label stamped with Establishment Riedel, slightly corroded capsule, short capsule reveals vintage branded corkLast 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 WA 1001 bt (cn)Estimates are per lot
