Scoring 96/100 parker points "the 1978 la mission-haut-brion is a strong candidate for the wine of the vintage. It is deep ruby/purple-colored with no signs of evolution. The wine is much more backward than haut-brion. It is intensely fragrant, displaying a supple, smooth, velvety texture, and well-developed, rich, cassis, gravel, and smoky scents and flavors. It is very full bodied, rich, and supple. This layered, concentrated wine can be drunk now, but promises to be even better with additional bottle age. Drink now - 2010 this wine is shipped in a deluxe silk lined wooden box at no additional cost. |
