1975 LA MISSION HAUT BRION
Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)
Château La Mission-Haut-Brion--Vintage 1975
Pessac (Graves), cru classé
Four slightly corroded capsules. Two slightly bin-soiled labels. Levels five base of neck and one top-shoulder
Tasting note: The 1975 La Mission-Haut-Brion has been the most consistent wine of the vintage. Super-concentrated, and now beginning to shed enough tannin so that it can be fully appreciated, this enormously constituted La Mission-Haut-Brion has developed that fabulous Graves set of aromatics - tobacco, black fruits, minerals, roasted herbs, and cedar. Huge, massive, thick, and succulent, with moderate tannin, and some amber notes at the edge, this wine will reach full maturity by the turn of the century and last for 30-40 years. An extraordinary La Mission-Haut-Brion, it comes closest in style to resembling the 1945, with a hint of the sweet, ripe 1959. The notes for this wine are taken from the description of Series I of the 1995 tasting conducted in Munich by Helga and Hardy Rodenstock.
100 Points. Robert Parker. Wine Advocate Issue #103. Feb 1996
