Chteau La Mission-Haut-Brion--Vintage 1949
Pessac (Graves), cru class. Chteau-bottled
Lightly bin-soiled label. Level top-shoulder
Tasting note: A great '49 and, in the opinion of the Woltners, the best ever La Mission. Equalling their '29. Eight notes, first in 1971, all I think from the Wolner family cellars. All superb. A magnificent magnum at Desai's tasting in 1985: sweet, full, fleshy. An almost exaggerated fine red Graves flavour reminiscent of toasted bracken, dried leaves, tobacco.***** M.B.
