Description

1973 Mission Haut Brion

It took a skilled winemaker to produce a good wine this year, and luckily those at this storied second label were successful. The winemaker called this "a good bottle from a difficult vintage," saying, "The abundant production of the year is evident in this wine. Above all it has been affected by the profuse rains during July and September. The color is light and rather developed. The ever-present woodiness is uncertain. As for the nose, one already has the feeling of a dominant old wine. The wine is light and agreeable at the attack but the finale is more delicate..."

Reviews

Tasted from magnum. A light, sweet wine, extremely drinkable. Medium red in colour, with a garnet edge. Has leathery earthy aromas, medium-bodied, sweet tobacco and earth flavours and a caressing mouthfeel. James Suckling (11/1991)
