La Mission enjoyed considerable success in the 1991 vintage. This deep ruby-colored wine boasts a fragrant, smoky, mineral, and berry-scented nose. Suave, elegant, and rich, with noticeable fatness to its harmonious flavors, good balance, and a long, medium-bodied finish, the wine exhibits fine ripeness, and a tasty, aromatic personality. This precocious La Mission should drink well for the next 6-10 years. Feb 1994, www.robertparker.com
