Jancis Robinson MW was at a Bordeaux tasting of La Mission wines organised by Farr Vintners last week. The wines ranged from 2005 back to 1929 making Robinson and the 29 other guests assembled from six different countries "extremely grateful" for the experience. The FT critic helpfully categorised the top La Missions into Great Vintages" (including 2005, 2000 and 1959 among others) and "Less Predictable Successes" (encapsulating 2004, 1999 and 1978 among others).
