this remains a strong effort

and a subtle earthy complexity

finely sculpted expression

The result is a wine of great complexity

Château La Mission Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan, 2010, 75cl 2-set spring flowers and spice soarsThe 2010 La Mission Haut Brion is a terrific wine. Evoking aromas of prune, blackberries, flowers, pencil shavings, cedar, cassis and licorice, it's layered and concentrated with a deep, elegant mid palate and powdery tannins. Concluding with a long, penetrating finish, this sumptuous wine can age for another 15 30 years, thanks to its mineral structure and incredible freshness.
