What a wine! This is my first bottle of 89 La Mission. All the legend about this wine is true!
Opened up with explosive amount of cedar, liquorice, black current, green pepper in the foreground. Then there is cigar box, chocalate, tar in the background.
On the palate it is as profound as it is on the nose. Silky sweet tannin, layered of taste. The finish goes on and on and on in the mouth for minutes at a point I cannot tell if it is lingering on my palate or in my mind, probably both.

My half bottle is fully developed. Still having a few bottles left, I would drink them in the next 5 years.
