(Château La Mission Haut-Brion) Dark brick red color, with floating sediment; a little VA, roasted lamb and berry nose; tasty, deep, tart black fruit palate with sage note mid-palate and great acidity, reminiscent both of mature Rhone and mature Barolo; medium-plus finish 97+ pts.

Drank with dinner at Le Coucou. Softer and more evolved than prior bottles. Tell-tale big smokey nose of LMHB. Brambly blackberries, tobacco and some menthol. Entering tertiary development. This bottle was slightly beyond its peak but still very enjoyable.

Blind with 89HB. More pungent and sharper of the duo, inky dark fruit, classically ripe, if evidently way younger and less ready. 95++

Drank w Nick at dinner. Out of the gate, the funk was incredible. Earthy, rich, robust. The finish was fantastic. About thirty minutes in, we could taste the tannins -- the grippy sensation came out. After 90 minutes or so, we could feel the air being let out of the experience. I would drink faster and no need to decant way before imbibing.
