2009 Château La Mission Haut-Brion:
Opened for four and a half hours. Deep ruby. Cassis, leather, vanilla, smoky minerals, rich and ripe nose. Layered. Fairly fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fruity, intense, sweet, could be more nuanced, rich and ripe, quite massive, needs twenty years, long. Imprroves with air. 96
