Another beautiful vintage showing the classic La Mission character. Nearing full maturity that will continue to deliver for many years. Lovely!

Red & black fruits with cedar earth, leather, good spice, floral tones & tobacco. Soft, silky texture with a long finish.

Not what it should have been. A little closed. Still quite tannnic but a little impenetrable with no signs of letting up.

One of the best Bordeaux I've had in years, great structure and mouth feel, well defined and deep fruit and that touch of leather we all love. Amazing bottle!

Very soft, velvety mouthfeel. Probably at its peak.

Elegant and medium bodied. Nice flavor texture but not the depth of stronger vintages.
