Awarded 90 points by Robert Parker – the 1979 La Mission is a notable creation. It has a vibrant dark ruby-purple hue and entices with the aroma of spices, minerals, and cassis.
The wine enjoys a medium to full-bodied structure that has rich, concentrated, and strong flavors. These add to the impressive finish. While it drinks well now, it hasn’t fully revealed the complex and aromatic depth expected from a premier Graves wine. It is recommended for consumption within the next 15 to 20 years.
