Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 16, 2014 - Absolutely perfect! Bordeaux doesn't get any better than this. Bought it on release in 1992 for futures price of $65, and have aged it in my cellar. The fill and the cork were perfect. Color still garnet, still almost completely opaque. The aroma just jumps out and keeps going, with the typical tobacco, cedar, leather, black fruit complexity La Mission is known for. The fruit is definitely still pronounced, perfectly balanced with acid and tannin. Hint of anise along with the same components as they aroma. The finish is just right...not too hot or tannic, just lingers. This has long been our favorite Bordeaux, even more than First Growths. It continues to be... This wine is wonderful now but should hold for more years.
