Château La Mission Haut-Brion - Pessac-Léognan (Grand Cru Classé de Graves) 1959 (750ml) Sauvignon Blanc Blend*Rebouche 1989* Critical Acclaim 100 points Wine Advocate, Review Date: 10 1994 It is interesting to note that many 1959s, much like the 1982s, were maligned for lacking both acidity and aging potential. How does one explain the fact that many 1959s are less evolved, as well as richer, fresher, and more complete than many 1961s? For example, as great as the 1961 La Mission is, the 1959 is a richer, deeper colored, more concentrated and powerful wine.
