Description
Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2005
Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classé
Good levels, excellent appearance, owc lid replaced with cardboard; Bons niveaux, excellente apparence, couvercle de la caisse en bois remplacé par du carton
69% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc. In 2019, this is a beautifully balanced, aristocratic wine, with youthful verve and freshness and lashings of black and red fruit. Behind it all, there is the peaty/cigary character of the cru, finely integrated into the concentrated impact of the wine. This is a top 2005, utterly satisfying and with a very long finish that just does not want to say goodbye. Fantastic attack and stunning projection. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
