1996 La Mission Haut Brion Pessac Leognan

89 pts - Wine Advocate

["Fully mature, with a big, fragrant bouquet of damp earth, weedy underbrush, asphalt, Asian soy, and ripe plums and cherries, this medium-bodied 1996 appears to be on a fast evolutionary track. It reveals plenty of delicious fruit, soft tannins and enough acidity to provide definition. I was surprised by how open-knit and mature this wine has become. Anticipated maturity: now-2020.- Robert Parker Jr. (08/2012)"]

89 pts - Wine Spectator

["A gentle, friendly wine for the vintage. Aromas of berries, tobacco and earth. Medium- to full-bodied, round, with soft tannins and a fruity aftertaste. Best after 2000. –JS WS"]
