1993 La Mission Haut Brion


My 100th post!

Tell-tale Bordeaux. Lead pencil, cured meats and cigar box. Feminine silky style, and now fully mature. Not a big wine, yet fully complete. It works. With the current prices of recent Bordeaux vintages, this one seems like a bargain. It's grade is knocked down slightly only because the finish doesn't last long enough (20-30 seconds). With steak. Perfect pairing. I paid $60 at auction.

Grade: A-
