Château La Mission Haut-Brion
Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend
Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Bordeaux, France
The 1994 La Mission Haut-Brion is absolutely fabulous and looks to be one of the top wines from this vintage. It begins with stunning aromas of dried cherries and currants along with leather, tobacco, dried spices and hints of cured meat that all take shape in the glass. On the palate this is absolutely seamless, with beautifully resolved tannins and notable depth and this glides effortlessly into the elegant finish. This is still showing remarkable well after 25 years, and should offer a drinking window that could span another decade.

This LMHB is good but not great, comparing with the '82 is not fair. But great drinking pleasure

Showing poorly. Tight and tannic and bitter. Will it evolve? Unclear.

Jun 18th, 2018Delivered more than expected and may not have been as big as a 1990 or 1996 but this was full and evolved as it opened. Big wine here still.

Jan 27th, 2018On the nose: Vegetal, slight funk, green pepper. Taste: opens as you drink, complex, cinnamon/ spice, woodsy, earthy, musky, medium acidity. Lingering finish. Good body.

Still got it. Big and full. Black berries and smooth as silk. A bit lighter than the 2000 or 1990 but great drink none the less.
