Tuesday, June 22, 2021 - Mark’s bottle. In a mini-vertical of La Mission Haut-Brion this vintage was my favorite, even besting the ‘82. Much softer than its older brother, the ‘89 was almost voluptuous in its expression of bold, juicy and plummy fruit. Naturally there’s plenty of fine structure to carry it so the future will be interesting. The usual smoke and tobacco are mere nuances at this point.
