Château La Mission-Haut-Brion--Vintage 1986
Pessac (Graves), cru classé
Tasting Note: There is a distinctive earthiness to this weedy, medium-bodied La Mission-Haut-Brion that still has some tannin to shed. The wine displays a youthful dark ruby/purple color, and sweet cassis fruit in the reticent, still unevolved nose. There is admirable power in this wine that is driven more by its spice and structure than its sweetness of fruit. Still youthful, it should continue to develop and evolve for another decade. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2012. Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1 (Jan 1998)
