Ch La Mission

95 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The '47 La Mission Haut-Brion is extremely tarry and smoky, with anise-scented raisin and other ripe flavors pumping through the chunky texture; a powerful wine.

93 PTS, WILFRED WONG. "A fascinating wine! The '88 La Mission is great to drink now; ripe and full of beautifully balanced sweet earthiness, this wine nicely defines the Pessac-Leognon terroir."

93 PTS WILFRED WONG A tremendous example of Pessac-Leognan before its time; the '82 La Mission offers aromas or sweet earth, black fruit, and minerals; on the palate a wine of superb persistence."

90 PTS STEPHEN TANZER. The '97 La Mission (exhibits) vinous aromas of plum, redcurrant, kirsch and tobacco; sweet, lush, round and harmonious with nicely delineated flavors of red fruits and tobacco.

93 PTS WILFRED WONG. The star of the vintage, the '98 La Mission Haut-Brion is a magnificent wine that surpasses all the dreams of a Pessac-Leognan producer; sturdy, and fine; delicious! 2007-2020

95 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. Excellent winemaking is evident in the '90 La Mission Haut-Brion; a big wine with wonderful wet stone, berry and leafy aromas and flavors and ultrafine tannins; drinkable now.
