Although it emerges from a similar terroir and the same winemaking team, the 2018 Château La Mission Haut-Brion is a dramatically different wine than the Haut-Brion and has a more concentrated, dense, powerful style that is all potential at this point. Dense purple-hued, with lots of crème de cassis, black cherries, smoked meats, lead pencil, graphite, and crushed stone aromatics, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a concentrated mid-palate, masses of ripe tannins, integrated acidity, and one hell of a finish. This blockbuster, backward, monster of a La Mission Haut-Brion needs to be forgotten for a good decade (or more) but is going to be just about immortal.
Château La Mission Haut-Brion Description
Complex, full-bodied and rich… Château La Mission Haut-Brion red invites the most flattering descriptions. The blend adapts according to the vintage, but Château La Mission Haut-Brion red wine always retains its unparalleled charisma.
- Tasting Notes: Very beautiful, dark, intense red colour. The nose is deep and concentrated, suggestive of very ripe grapes, underscored by complex oaky and spicy overtones. Starts out broad-based and juicy on the palate, becoming fullbodied, tannic and succulent, culminating in a lovely long aftertaste. Very pleasant flavours linger on the palate, reminiscent of the finest vintages.
