Lot 452 Details
CHÂTEAU LA MISSION HAUT-BRION 1998 (1)

Pessac-Léognan. Grand Cru Classé
marked label.

The 1998 La Mission Haut-Brion is deep garnet-brick colored with a pretty perfume of potpourri, spice box, menthol, sandalwood, tobacco and new leather. The palate is medium-bodied and elegant with tons of fragrant layers, finishing with loads of mineral and tons of energy. Drink up to 2030. May 2018 WA 97

CHÂTEAU LATOUR 1999 (1)

Pauillac. 1er Cru Classé
u. bn. marked & scraped label.

Readers looking for a modern day version of Latour's magnificent 1962 or 1971 should check out the sensational 1999 Latour. It is a big, concentrated offering, exhibiting a dense ruby/purple color, and a classic nose of minerals, black currants, leather, and vanilla. The wine is long, ripe, and medium-bodied, with high levels of sweet tannin. This surprisingly full, concentrated 1999 should be drinkable in 5-6 years; it will last for three decades. April 2002 WA 94

2 bts.    per lot $1,200 - $1,400
