Château La Mission Haut-Brion
Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend
Pessac-Léognan, Graves, Bordeaux, France
This was my favorite wine today that seemed to just keep building in the glass showing the classic LMHB magic. Black fruits, soy, graphite, cedar, leather, licorice, mineral, cigar box & violet. A magical vintage for me that I have had many times & never disappoints!

A touch of band aid. Blood, clear red fruit and depth. Interesting more than delicious. As the wine progressed in glass a more brambly and leather undertow emerged and some funk blew off. Getting better. Geez, these wines age.

nose of suede, mushroom, cigar box and a hint of incense ~ vibrant juicy black cherry core finishes with eucalyptus and faintest hint of butterscotch ~ amazing

Jun 25th, 2020Tonight I thought I would open this LMHB as the 2019 was released on futures yesterday. It may be a better wine but you are going to have to wait a long time to find out. The 66 is a wine where I have opened more than 6 cases in the last 5 yrs & consider it one of the great vintages for current drinking showing black fruits, cassis, saddle leather, smoke, tar, graphite, licorice, soy, tobacco & violets. This has been fully mature for 10 yrs & perfectly stored btls will continue to drink well for many years. One of the wines that keeps me searching & drinking old Bordeaux!

Jun 13th, 2020The 66 LMHB is a rock star, a wine that I have had many times & will reward well stored btls. This was fully mature showing notes of black fruits, cassis, cedar, leather, soy, black olive, smoke, tar & cigar box.
