1998 Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion | 750ml

The 1998 Château La Mission Haut-Brion is one of the defining wines of this iconic estate, widely regarded as one of the greatest Pessac-Léognan releases of the decade. A warm and exceptional vintage for the region, 1998 allowed La Mission to craft a wine of remarkable depth, power, and elegance—now beautifully matured after more than 25 years.

The wine opens with intense aromas of blackcurrant, plum, tobacco, smoked earth, graphite, leather, and warm spice. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied yet perfectly balanced, showing layers of dark fruit, mocha, mineral complexity, and silky, structured tannins. The finish is long and persistent, carrying the signature smoky, earthy character that distinguishes La Mission Haut-Brion from all other Bordeaux estates.

Now in a superb drinking window, the 1998 La Mission combines concentration, harmony, and longevity, making it a highly coveted bottle for collectors of legendary Left Bank Bordeaux.
