Chateau La Mission Haut Brion 2006, 1 double magnum

Description:

ChateauLa Mission Haut Brion2006
Pessac Leognan
"A somewhat under-the-radar La Mission, the 2006 was generally overlooked following the brilliance of the 2005. A young, dense purple-hued wine that is developing beautifully, it exhibits notes of Asian plum sauce, charcoal, barbecue smoke, roasted meats, graphite and background oak. Full-bodied with good acidity, moderate tannin and a vigorous, powerful youthfulness, the 2006 will age more quickly than the 2005, but it still requires another 5-8 years of cellaring. Anticipated Maturity: 2014-2035." R Parker for TWA, 94 pts. 08/12
1 double magnum
Estimate $1,200-1,500
