The La Mission Haut Brion is a rich and fleshy red bordeaux with a powerful, opulent character. The 2010 has an intense, complex bouquet, blending hints of oak with blackcurrant, liquorice, and chocolate. The nose reveals a seemingly endless range of aromas.On the palate, the breadth and expressivity of this wine is immediately impressive. The tannins are flavourful and its structure is poised, buoyed up by incredible freshness.

The 2010 La Mission Haut-Brion has a very flattering bouquet with detailed red and black fruit laced with chestnut, cedar and sous-bois. This is supremely well focused. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins. There is immense depth here, more savoury than expected with chestnut once again, white pepper and a tinge of dried blood towards the finish. Outstanding. Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the BI Wines & Spirits 10-Year On tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, April 2020)

Lush extracted blue and black fruit. Cloves new leather over poweres the bouquet. Cassis with mouth watering acidity. Neverending finish !
