Michael Steinberger: A telltale La Mission perfume, marked by scorched earth, leather, tobacco, and menthol. Amazing depth, concentration, and vitality to this legendary half-centuryold La Mission, and here, too, you find that seductive exotic spice note. (And they say only Burgundies are aphrodisiacal. Not so!) A long, warm finish rounds out a stunningly good wine. 19.5–20
