CHÂTEAU LA MISSION HAUT BRION 2004

Pessac-Léognan, Grand Cru Classé

While La Mission Haut-Brion’s 2004 is not one of this estate’s top successes, it is an outstanding wine, no doubt because of this extraordinary terroir. Deep ruby/purple with notes of lead pencil shavings intermixed with black cherries, cassis, and a hint of scorched earth, medium body, sweet tannin, and a good, but uninspiring finish, this attractive, mid-weight La Mission should age nicely for 15 or more years. 90 WA 91 WS

Estimate $1,800-$2,000

Realised: $1,920
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
