Chateau La Mission Haut Brion, Cru Classe, Pessac Leognan 1985

"The bouquet reveals plenty of smoke, camphor, charcoal, graphite, sweet kirsch and blacker fruit aromas intermixed with meaty, sauteed mushroom, cedar and spicy notes. The lovely aromatics are followed by flavors that do not quite match the intensity of the bouquet, a sign of a fully mature wine. This medium-bodied effort has plenty of glycerin, low acidity and not a trace of tannin. While not terribly generous, it is a soft, round, charming, delicious, very good La Mission." - Robert Parker

" Wonderful berry, raspberry and cherry character, full body and silky tannins." - Wine Spectator
