Monday, April 18, 2022 - This is a wine that captures the essence of La Mission Haut Brion wonderfully.

Heady perfume of red berries, cherry, spicy wood smoke, brick, rosemary and olives. Very pessac in its approach and the palate is even more so. Silky and fine tannins that only age can accomplish. Clearly there was vigor when the wine was young as the entry of blackberry, cherry skin and mineral is intense, yet the subtlety unfolds as this sits in the decanter and grows longer in the mouth. Inner mouth perfume of tobacco, smoking embers and baked bricks lies beneath the slightly browning red fruit.

A La Mission of elegance and class that can only be accomplished from the best terroir of Pessac. I adored this wine not for hitting the highs of a great vintage, but for its character and ability to show the nature of the property.
