Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc 2011 (12 BT)

 Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc 2011  

Graves, Cru Classé 

72.9% Sémillon, 27.1% Sauvignon Blanc. Quite closed on the nose when very young, which is normal for a wine with high Sémillon content. Lovely richness on the palate with that super-sec Sémillon taste. This reminds me of wonderful old Hunter Valley Sémillons! In 2014, minerality on the nose and a vanillin taste. Such a lovely 'stony' finish. The Clos Ste.Hune of Bordeaux! In 2015, apple blossom on the nose and a lovely, flinty, sweet hawthorn wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
