Château La Mission Haut-Brion 1986 Pessac-Léognan

CHATEAU LA MISSION HAUT-BRION 1986

トリュフと土が香る、成熟のペサック。

深いガーネット色にわずかなオレンジの縁取りを帯び、熟成の美しさを感じさせる外観。ブラックベリーやカシスの凝縮した果実に、スモーキーなトリュフやタバコ、シダーのニュアンスが重なり、複雑なブーケを形づくります。シルキーで丸みのあるタンニンと酸のバランスが絶妙で、後半には土やキノコを思わせる香ばしさが現れます。鴨胸肉のローストとともに、ゆっくりと。

Tasting note

A deep garnet color with a slight orange rimming exudes the beauty of aging. The aroma is concentrated with blackberry and cassis, layered with smoky notes of truffle, tobacco, and cedar, creating a complex and captivating bouquet. On the palate, silky, rounded tannins spread, perfectly balanced with the acidity. The latter half reveals the toasty aromas of aging and hints of earth and mushroom, resulting in a long, pleasantly lingering finish. An elegant and harmonious masterpiece, truly worthy of the taste of a mature, classic Bordeaux.
