The red wine Château La Mission Haut-Brion, vintage 1990 from the winery Château La Mission Haut-Brion has been rated in 2010 with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot from the region Pessac-Léognan in France.
Medium ruby-garnet in colour with a solid core, broad ochre reflections and a watery rim. Delicately smoky nuances on the nose, with subtle animalistic notes, blackberry jam and a floral touch. It's taut on the palate with good complexity and ripe cherry fruit. The vivid tannins have a delicately bitter chocolate touch to them, and there's mineral freshness to the finish. It appears somewhat monolithic, with good length and still some ageing potential.

Stony nuances on the palate, slightly astringent, firm tannins, with a sweet finish, will probably continue in this form for some time.
