Château La Mission-Haut-Brion--Vintage 1981
Talence (Graves), cru classé
Levels: bottom neck or better
In original wooden case
"Spicy but aggressive in its youth but rich, ripe fruit on the nose, crisp flavour and bitter tannins noted towards the end of the decade. An 'austere' bottle at a pre-sale tasting in 1997 and a somewhat more explicit note at auction: fairly deep; rich, arboreal, oaky nose with touch of iron; some sweetness, full-bodied, fairly well equipped with tannin and acidity. Typically masculine. Last tasted Jan 1999 ***(*)" MB, Vintage Wine
