Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2008 

Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classé

1 label has a very small nick at top edge; Etiquette a une très petite entaille sur le bord supérieur

In 2016, a rich tobacco and plush loganberries nose. Sweet succulent on the palate, with irony overtones and opulent undergrowth flavour⛄s. The tann⛎ins melt in the mouth. Finish of the embers of a wood fire. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

Celebrating the life and tastes of an oenophile, this beautiful collection comes to auction from a single, purpose-built and temperature-controlled private cellar in the South of Europe. All the wines were directly purchased from one of the most prestigious, reputable and highly-respected merchants in Bordeaux. The Classic taste of the late owner is obvious, with an impressive depth of Cru Classé Bordeaux on offer from the♉ 1990s to 2010s, with an extensive representation across First Growths to Fif🧸th Growths, together with an outstanding representation of some of the greatest Crus recently produced in Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. Beyond Bordeaux, we glimpse more of the collector’s tastes with a small selection of Super Tuscans and iconic Californian gems. Great vintages are a gift from Mother Nature and this collection has assembled some of the best wines produced in Bordeaux for the past decade in tremendous quantities with a large variety of formats from half bottles to double magnums. This is a cellar to satisfy every wine lover from all over the world.
