In this vintage La Mission comprises 69% Merlot, 30% CabernetSauvignon and the remaining 1% is Cabernet Franc. Very dense inappearance, certainly opaque. The aromas here reveal blackcurrant andmulberry, hedgerow fruits. The palate shows a lovely core of tightlywoundfruit in a similar vein, with a complex leafy edge, layered andrefined but certainly expansive. The concentration impresses as does thebalance. The tannins are fine and well-veiled by the creamy-nuancedfruit. There is an earthy mineral quality here too and a lasting impressionof ripe fruit. Terrific length – a very fine La Mission. Drink 20 – 35
