Oh, but you shouldnt have, and then again. This is extremely well structured, concentrated, vertical, dense with rich black fruit, black berries galore and sound tannin. Much too young, of course, enjioyabke nevertheless #JR&Co

Dark glowing concentrated red Licorice in the long aftertaste Very balanced Earthy tones noticeable Can be a top mission in years For perfection some sparkle is (yet) missing

Reticent demeanor, but all the elements are here. Blueberry-shaded fruit comes laced with smoky ash and asphalt. The tannins are firm and grippy, almost gritty. This has fairly slender tailoring but it packs a punch above its weight.

A serious, age-worthy vintage of La Mission Haut Brion here. With a deep, dark, rich hue, the wine pops from the glass with its smoky essence made even better by its layers of black currants, black plums, tar, herbs, cigar box, and tobacco accents. The palate is full-bodied, powerful, rich, intense, mouth-filling, and long. Everything is in balance, meshing power with precision, purity, freshness, length, and complexity. Like all the great vintages of La Mission Haut Brion, this is going to demand time in the cellar before it unfurls and displays all it has to offer. Drink from 2036-2060.
