Château La Mission Haut-Brion (Pessac-Léognan)
Concentrated, firm, bright, austere, tannic, old-school styled wine, which is better on the nose, with its burning ember, tobacco, cigar wrapper, cedar, spice, and currant profile, than on the rustic palate. It is going to make old bones, but it will never offer much charm. Drink from 2026-2075. 115 Views Tasted Jan 21, 2026 |

Château La Mission Haut-Brion (Pessac-Léognan)
This incredible wine has truly blossomed since I tasted it in barrel, exceeding expectations. It starts with an inky, deep black and purple color. The fruits are just as dark and rich.

Château Canon (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
A rare vintage from the war years, and only the second wine from 1940 I've tasted. Light in color and on the palate, yet this is quite charming.

Château Rausan-Ségla (Margaux)
I hope I’m as charming as this wine when I’m 97 years old. Tea like in color, with a perfume of dried flowers, forest leaves, raspberries, and strawberries with herbs and a touch of burnt earth.
