It is interesting to note that many 1959s, much like the 1982s, were maligned for lacking both acidity and aging potential. How does one explain the fact that many 1959s are less evolved, as well as richer, fresher, and more complete than many 1961s? For example, as great as the 1961 La Mission is, the 1959 is a richer, deeper-colored, more concentrated and powerful wine. It needs at least 3-5 more years of cellaring to reach its plateau of maturity. Spicy and super-concentrated, with a dense, plummy/purple color, this young, broodingly backward, formidably-endowed wine should be at its best before the end of the century and drink well for the first 20-25 years of the next millennium.

Rich and meaty, like a piece of rare filet mignon. Deep red-brick in color, with well-aged game and meat flavors; full-bodied, with superrich, velvety, gamy fruit flavors.--La Mission-Haut-Brion vertical. ?JS

Produttore
Château La Mission Haut Brion
Anch'esso di proprietà della famiglia Dillon, Château La Mission Haut-Brion è sicuramente il secondo miglior produttore della denominazione Pessac-Léognan, dopo il vicino miglior produttore di Graves, Château Haut-Brion. Con una storia che risale all'inizio del XVI secolo, La Mission Haut-Brion ora compete con la cantina consorella in varie annate selezionate. La tenuta è stata infatti elevata a un livello paragonabile al Premier Cru nel 2009. Ora il La Tour Haut-Brion fa parte dei Cru Classé della denominazione Pessac-Leognan ed è un marchio appartenente a proprietari diversi, ma è comunque gestito dalla famiglia Dillon. La proprietà di 29 ettari è vitata principalmente per la produzione dei rossi di prima qualità. La Mission Haut-Brion è il vino più importante, emblema dello stile della Maison: ricco, fermentato in botte, denso e potente. Lo Château produce inoltre La Chapelle de La Mission Haut-Brion, un secondo vino più maturo, ma non meno emozionante.
