CHâTEAU LA MISSION-HAUT-BRION--VINTAGE 1990
PESSAC (GRAVES), CRU CLASSé
ONE BOTTLE SHOWS SLIGHT SIGNS OF SEEPAGE. TWO BOTTLES HAVE STAINED LABELS. LEVELS: ELEVEN INTO NECK, ONE TOP-SHOULDER
TASTING NOTE: MUCH LIKE ITS NEARBY RIVAL, HAUT BRION, THE 1990 LA MISSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN RELATIVELY EVOLVED, COMPLEX, AND SUPPLE-TEXTURED. EVEN AT AGE 3-4 IT PERFORMED BEAUTIFULLY. THE TANNINS ARE SWEET, THE ACIDITY LOW, AND THE HIGH LEVELS OF GLYCERIN AND CONCENTRATED FRUIT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PRESENT, AND THEY SHOW NO SIGNS OF ABATING. A DARK PLUM/BLUE/GARNET COLOR IS FOLLOWED BY A SWEET PERFUME OF CHOCOLATE, RICH, JAMMY, BERRY FRUIT, AND HINTS OF SMOKED HERBS AS WELL AS MEAT JUICES. IT REMAINS A FULL-BODIED, OPULENT, EVEN OSTENTATIOUS WINE THAT SHOULD DRINK BEAUTIFULLY FOR TWO MORE DECADES. IT REALLY HAS NOT CHANGED MUCH OVER THE LAST 6-7 YEARS. 96 POINTS. ROBERT PARKER, WINE ADVOCATE # 183 (JUN 2009)
