1988 Chateau La Mission Haut BrionColour : Red Producer : Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Country : France Region : Bordeaux Sub Region : Pessac Leognan Variety : Proprietary Blend Vintage : 1988 Capacity : 750 ml Standard Bottle Tasting Note : Dark crimson with ruby rim. Lovely mellow, very slightly faded nose but hugely complex and enjoyable. Then on the palate rather pronounced acidity and dry tannins very 1988! Dry and dusty. Will probably always be a bit painful to drink! But

Chile's first perfect wine and well deserved

black cherries

The 2005 is a thrill to follow in the glass

Drinkable now and please try a bottle

vintage-dated cuvées

An evocative wine that makes you think

balanced by the vibrant acidity that is a hallmark of great Mosel Riesling

mouthwateringly salty

spicy aromas of ripe red berries

which contribute to the distinctive chalky and saline qualities associated with the finest wines of Chablis

a little spicier than I recollect and conspicuously becoming more pixelated with aeration
