Château La Mission Haut Brion Pessac Léognan 2001
This wine has a very rich purple hue, deep and dense. The first whiff emphasizes the scent of the already assimilated woody element. One notes a touch of the bitter sweetness of licorice combined with blackberries, blackcurrants and mulberries. In the mouth one finds an evident harmony which is divulging its structure bit by bit. There is softness with firmness. The vanilla extract slowly oozes from its bean as the succession of flavors meld and contribute to the complexity of the ripe tannin. Finally the aroma of truffle emerges alongside the nuances of licorice and tobacco so typical in this wine. Such complexity along with this sort of tannin is characteristic of great wines of La Mission. Wine Spectator Very complex, with blackberries, flowers and minerals. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a fresh, sweet fruit aftertaste. Refined La Mission. Beautiful. Best after 2008. 600 cases imported. Score: 92. —James Suckling, March 31, 2004. |
