CHATEAU LA MISSION HAUT-BRION 2001 |

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2001 Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru ClasséPacked in 12-bottle owc63% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc. A lovely complexity of red and black fruit on the nose, classic and yet spicily enticing. A beautiful clean, fine-grained taste of pure, tempting elegance together with violetty fruit. Liquid breed! A triumph and maybe a 'sleeper', in the sense that it came after the 2000. A lovely 'sweetness' at the end, with great charm and juiciness. In 2013, such crispness and attack. Very cigary.
