Description

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1959

Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classé

u. bn, bin-soiled label, bin-soiled and slightly corroded capsule, Bouteille Reetiquetee par Le Cellier en 2000


Last tasted from magnum in 2014. Deeper colour than Haut Brion '59, almost purple. More concentrated, focused and intense than Haut Brion. Terrific tannin, power and richness. Inky. Great depth and vigour. A very great drinking experience.  A wonderful exercise in style comparison with the neighbour over the road.
