Château La Mission-Haut-Brion--Vintage 1989
Pessac (Graves), cru classé
Lot 49 one very slightly stained label
Tasting note: This is a profound bottle of La Mission-Haut-Brion with a deep ruby/purple colour and a gorgeous nose of espresso, tar, tobacco, mineral, and blackberry, blueberry, and black currant fruit. The extraordinary smorgasbord of aromatics is matched by a full-bodied, viscous, opulent style of wine with sweet, jammy fruit yet enough tannin and acidity to provide uplift and definition. Still somewhat of an adolescent in terms of its development, and far less evolved than its gorgeous sibling, the 1990, this is a prodigious, multi-dimensional wine that is a modern-day legend. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2025. Last tasted, 1/03. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 4th Edn. Jan 2003
