Located in the prestigious Pessac-Leognan appellation of Bordeaux, Mission Haut Brion is a historic winery known for producing exceptional wines since the 17th century.

The Mission Haut Brion Pessac Leognan 1985 is a classic Bordeaux blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. This wine exhibits a deep ruby color with aromas of blackcurrant, cherry, and tobacco. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied with flavors of dark berries, cedar, and a hint of leather. The tannins are still firm but well-integrated, providing a long, elegant finish. This vintage is drinking beautifully now but has the potential to continue aging gracefully for many more years.
