FINE BORDEAUX IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
Property of a Northeastern Gentleman
Removed from professional temperature controlled wine storage
Château La Mission-Haut-Brion--Vintage 1978
Talence (Graves), cru classé
Levels: bottom neck or better
In original wooden case
"I stayed at La Mission during the '78 vintage. Unbroken blue sky. La Mission has some of the brash self-confidence of Malescot but that is just the starting point: it has so much else to offer, and though in earlier notes I had reservations, my two most recent notes didn't mention any. A still deep, most attractive, fully developed tobacco flavour (Bordeaux Club 1995) and superb magnums at an opening 'flight' of La Missions: almost opaque, ruthless; sweet fruit, still youthful fragrance; full, fleshy, a glorious mouthful. A great wine; an amusing '78. Last tasted at a Rodenstock wine weekend, Sept 1998 *****" MB, Vintage Wine
