Chateau La Mission Haut Brion - Pessac-Leognan 2016

RM3,220.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.
The 2016 La Mission Haut-Brion is a blend of 57.5% Merlot and 42.5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple in color, it is just a little muted to begin, soon unfurling to reveal slowly growing scents of crushed blackcurrants, black cherries, dark chocolate and candied violets with nuances of crushed rocks, tobacco leaf, forest floor and fragrant earth plus a hint of bergamot. Medium-bodied and exquisitely elegant, the palate offers perfectly ripe, fine-grained tannins and tons of freshness with layer upon layer of perfumed fruit and a very long, ferrous-laced finish.   Vinous: 99Pts; Decanter: 98Pts; Jeb Dunnuck: 98Pts; Robert Parker: 98Pts; James Suckling: 97Pts; Wine Spectator: 97Pts; Wine Enthusiast: 96Pts
