Château La Mission Haut Brion Pessac Léognan Cru Classé de Graves 1955

This is a wine that has in its lifetime received a few perfect scores, and it is still delivering, if slightly more quietly than in may have done in the past. Think tobacco leaf, white truffle, embers, cold ash, redcurrant, saffran, rust… you get the picture – extremely special, fragrant and full of joy. The bottle was brought by Mark Pardoe, served in one of the Berry Bros wonderful hidden dining rooms in St James, and was originally in his father’s cellar. Just a thoroughly special wine.
