Chateau La Mission Haunt Brion Pessac-Leognan Rouge 2016 750ml
The 2016 La Mission Haut Brion is a blend of 57.5% Merlot and 42.5% Cabernet Sauvignon picked between 19 September and 14 October, one of the longest ever. We had to be patient and wait for each plot, Jean-Philippe Delmas told me. It took longer than usual. As is customary, I allowed my sample, and likewise all the wines poured at this tasting, around 40-45 minutes to open since they always transform in the glass. It has a clean and precise, quite understated bouquet with fine mineralité, cold stone aromas infusing the black fruit. This has incredible precision, perhaps even more pixelated than the gaff over the road Haut-Brion. The palate is medium-bodied with supple and lithe tannin. I appreciate the line of acidity here, the smoothness and harmony that takes your breath away. Every atom is infused with life-affirming freshness. It is a wine bridled with incredible focus and delineation. I thought that the 2015 La Mission Haut-Brion flirted with perfection. The Chateau La Mission Haunt Brion Pessac-Leognan Rouge 2016 has that extra edge, a je ne sais quoi that leaves you reaching for the thesaurus looking for superlatives. -Neal Martin, Apr 2017 Reviewed by: The Wine Advocate- 98-100 pts
I ordered a hard to find wine from Mexico. I was able to order it very easily and got it right away. I was very happy with the care of how my bottle was packaged. The delivery was on time and I got alerted of the day it was arriving. The delivery required my signature which I found very good to ensure it was delivered.
