La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion 2007

Talence (Pessac-Léognan)

64% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc. 29% new oak. In 2013, lovely, fragrant, wet forest floor, even "Burgundian" nose. Like a walk in the woods. Marvellously plummy taste. The tannins are so soft and welcoming. Eucalyptus-ripe! Blackberries and plums on the palate. Can be drunk from now. A touch of tobacco at the end. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
