Description

Chateau La Mission Haut Brion 1955
Pessac-Leognan
ts, lbsl
Bottle (1)
"Exceptionally dark crimson. Sweet and succulent - surely one of the best 1955s? Lovely now with minerals and great cleanliness and balance. Fresh and great lift for a wine this old. Wonderful for current drinking." (19pts JR, June 2008)

"Even allowing for the greatness of Haut-Brion and Mouton-Rothschild, the 1955 La Mission is the 'wine of the vintage.' It possesses a sweet, cedary, clove, smoke, and black-raspberry-scented nose, and rich, full-bodied, remarkably harmonious flavors that ooze with ripe fruit, glycerin, and heady alcohol... It is an amazing, complex, superbly well-balanced La Mission-Haut-Brion!" (95 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #95, Oct. 1994)

Shipping Restriction: Please note that we cannot ship to addresses in Massachusetts, so please bid accordingly.
