Ch. La Mission Haut-Brion (0.75 L)
$2,980.00
NM: Tasted at the La Mission/Haut-Brion dinner at The Ledbury. This is easily the best bottle of La Mission í»83 that I have encountered and some fellow diners preferred it to the í»82. I would not go quite that far, but its has a delectable leafy nose with black brambly fruit, sous-bois, cedar and mint, a scorched earth scent becoming more prominent with further aeration. Very well defined. The palate is medium-bodied and unexpectedly shows far more bravura and dare I say, decadence than I predicted. Blackberry, black olive, cassis and tobacco, rounded and animated towards the leafy, herbaceous finish with a captivating sense of harmony. Will I ever chance upon a bottle as good as this? Superb. Drink now-2025. Tasted September 2010.
