1985 La Mission Haut Brion Graves. Intense and heady with notes of dried cherry and mushrooms on the attack intertwined with graphite, leather and baking spice. This wine seemed ready to drink and not sure 5+ more years would have made a difference. Long, lingering silly finish. #wine #sommelier #france #bordeaux

A terrific Blanc. Oak was completely integrated, leaving the wine exotically aromatic and gorgeously mineral.

Drinking well showing the classic La Mission nose of black fruits, cedar, menthol, road tar, crushed rock, spice box & cigar ash.
