Château La Mission-Haut-Brion--Vintage 1945
Talence (Graves), cru classé
Lot 223 level: very top shoulder; Establissments Nicolas stamped label, yellowed, cut capsule to reveal Château and vintage branded cork. Lot 224 level: very top shoulder; bin soiled label. Lot 225 levels: bottom neck; Rebouché en 1978, excellent appearance. Lot 226 levels: bottom neck; excellent appearance
Lot 224 in individual original wooden case
"Tasted 7 times with inconsistent notes the 1945 La Mission is certainly a great wine with fabulous concentration, but also a leathery, tough, hard texture. It is very powerful, broodingly rich and opaque, but the tannin is extremely elevated and one wonders what is going to fall away first, the fruit or the tannin? This wine still has the potential to last for another 20-25 years, and therein lies much of the mystique of this vintage." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #95 (Oct 1994)
