Château La Mission-Haut-Brion--Vintage 1959
Pessac (Graves), cru classé
Thee slightly damaged and two slightly corroded capsules. Three bin-soiled and slightly damaged and nine slightly bin-soiled and very slightly damaged labels. Levels: three base of neck, seven top, one upper and one mid/upper-shoulder. In original wooden case
Tasting Note: The Woltners at their peak. The wine took 20 years to shrug off some of the tannin. Most recently, a superb bottle: deep, tinged with cherry red; earthy, 'cheese rind'. Singed tobacco, pebbly, its crisp fruit opening up richly; crisp, aggressive, convincing, with excellent tannin and acidity. Last tasted June 2000 ***** And will keep. M.B.
