La Mission Haut Brion Pessac Leognan Rouge 2009

Tasting Notes

A bewitching wine, from beginning to end of the tasting experience! The colour is very deep and the nose is intense, with plenty of character. This rich and utterly delicious wine spreads out beautifully on the palate. The tannin is smooth and sweet. 2009 Château La Mission Haut-Brion inevitably reminds tasters of one of this estate's finest successes: the 2000 vintage. The concentration, class, and balance between power and freshness are the hallmarks of both 2000 and 2009. However, 2009 has greater concentration, as well as another dimension and even stronger sensations. We can state that 2009 Château La Mission Haut-Brion is mythical. - Winery Note
