Lot 66 Details
CHÂTEAU LA MISSION HAUT-BRION 1995

Pessac-Léognan. Cru Classé
u. 1 x bn. 2 x scraped labels

One of the bigger wines of the vintage, the ripe, powerful Merlot component has buttressed the Cabernet elements, giving the wine plenty of body, tannin and La Mission’s classic asphalt, cassis, blackberry, smoky barbecue, meaty notes intermixed with a hint of hot rocks. The 1995 is still a young wine and I am beginning to wonder if this vintage overall will resemble 1975 rather than something with more charm? Anticipated maturity: 2020-2035? August 2012 WA 95+

2 bts.    per lot $600 - $800

Realised: $900
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
