Details
Château La Mission-Haut-Brion 2009
Pessac (Graves), cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting note: A blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc. Opaque purple in color, with an extraordinary nose of blueberry liqueur intermixed with camphor, charcoal, hints of burning embers and truffles, and loads of black berry and black currant fruit, the wine has sublime concentration and purity, a finish that goes well past 60 seconds, and not a hard edge to be found in this sumptuous, almost over-the-top, full-bodied wine of enormous power and massive density and richness. An immortal effort, it should drink well for 50-100 years! Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #188, April 2010
