Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan
Grand Cru Classé de Graves
0,75
Red
The harvest at La Mission and Haut Brion was one of the most drawn out ever. The patience has been rewarded. This is a very smart wine; polished, glossy with deep, ripe black fruit character, on the palate the wine opens up to reveal perfectly pitched fresh fruit, very elegant tannins and a very long deeply satisfying finish. Everything is in balance here and it makes great winemaking look easy. Drink 2026-2050
