Château La Mission-Haut-Brion--Vintage 2001
Pessac (Graves), cru classé. Château-bottled
Tasting note: Like its more famous neighbor, Haut-Brion, the 2001 La Mission Haut-Brion has closed down considerably since bottling. A blend of 62 Cabernet Sauvignon, 35 Merlot, and 3 Cabernet Franc, it possesses an inky/purple color (deeper than Haut-Brions) in addition to a tight but promising bouquet of scorched earth, wood, tar, black currants, and a hint of hickory wood. Medium-bodied, firm, muscular, and virile, it is a candidate for long term cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020+. Wine Advocate #153 (June 2004) Robert Parker
