La Mission Haut Brion 1990

HED0426 75cl 12.5%
La Mission Haut Brion 1990 is a medium-bodied, Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wine from the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Bordeaux. Château La Mission Haut-Brion is one of the preeminent estates in the Pessac-Léognan appellation and is renowned for producing exceptionally concentrated and long-lived wines. The prestigious first label, La Mission Haut-Brion, is a near equal blend of Cabernet and Merlot, giving wonderfully focused wines with bramble and floral character. "The 1990 La Mission Haut-Brion was always going to lie in the shadow of the previous vintage, but let`s be clear. this is a magnificent, audacious follow-up. The nose might not be blessed with the Swiss-watch precision of the 1989, yet how can you possibly resist the heart-warming scents of roasted chestnuts and morels that suffuse the red berry fruit? The palate sports a slight gaminess and, as I noted in previous tasting notes, there is a Musigny-like personality toward the rounded, slightly earthy finish. Few La Missions have delivered such untrammelled drinkability." Vinous, 2021
