An exceptional wine, a big, seductive classic La Mission, one of the vintage's stars. A very deep dark red colour with mauve reflections. The nose is intense and open with notes of black cherries, blackberries and also spices. The nose is very "Mission".The wine enters the mouth broad and sweet, tasty, then it rises in tannic power smoothly towards a creamy mid-palate. On the finish the tannic structure tightens, leading to a very beautiful aromatic persistence. The wine is very open, very expressive, very obviously "Grand Vin". Unfortunately though the production of the 2011 La Mission-Haut-Brion was only 4,100 cases. ABV 13.5%

| Critics Review | 95 Points - Robert Parkers Wine AdvocateThe small production (4,150 cases) of 2011 La Mission-Haut-Brion displays the nobility and complexity of this great terroir. Burning embers, scorched earth, blueberry, black currant, licorice and spice aromas jump from the glass of this dense ruby/purple-colored wine. With full body (atypical for a 2011), but no hard edges, this opulent, multidimensional, fleshy, rich, stunningly long, well-balanced La Mission is another great achievement in what has been nearly a century of producing remarkable wines from this hallowed vineyard. The long 2011 should be reasonably mature in another 4-6 years, and last for two decades. It will always be a revelation in a vintage that is unlikely to receive a lot of exciting press. The final blend was 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and 11% Cabernet Franc. Special Price - No Further DIscount Applies |
