Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1975 (4 MAG)

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1975 

Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classé

u. 2vts, 2ts, slightly wrinkled and slightly bin-soiled labels, 1 torn label adhered with tape, 3 slight signs of old seepage, corroded capsules

Dark as the night. Immensely complex, intellectually fascinating nose - a pretty good sensual experience too! Chocolate and spices. On the palate, so full and sweet. A wondrous wine of immense allure and seduction. Fresh acidity to match the sweetness. Heavenly. Ripe plums and great Havanas at the end. I think this is a chef d'oeuvre. Another bottle had an inky, cassis, aniseed nose and the taste was so soft, sweet and violetty. The wine remains a complete one-off. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
