Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1995 (12 BT)

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1995
Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classé
Excellent levels, 10 labels slightly soiled
Last tasted in 2012 where it really shone with vibrant character and inky, irony splendour. So much verve and splendid black fruit, designed for a long life if we only let it! Serena Sutcliffe, MW

Provenance:

THE COINTREAU COLLECTION: All the wines were purchased through established wine merchants, the majority being packed in original wooden cases which were opened for the first time by Sotheby's Specialists. These wines have been stored in a deep underground cellar with natural constant temperature and humidity. The rare selection of First Growths from the legendary 1952, 1953 and 1955 vintages were purchased at Quien & Cie en primeur. Packed in their original wooden cases with a few traces of woodworm, the cases were heat treated for this sale.
