Details
1998 LA MISSION HAUT-BRION
Château La Mission-Haut-Brion--Vintage 1998
Pessac (Graves), cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: Complex aromas of scorched earth, minerals, black fruits, lead pencil, and subtle wood accompany this classic, full-bodied, La Mission. It boasts superb purity, an expansive, concentrated mid-palate, and sweet tannin in the long, muscular yet refined finish. This superb La Mission-Haut-Brion, which requires 6-7 years of cellaring, gets my nod as one of the finest La Mission's produced. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030. 93 points.
