Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2005
Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classé

69% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc. Simply fabulous, overwhelming nose of deep, blackberry intensity, with no sense of the high alcohol. The wonderful projection is due to slightly higher acidity which gives it great backbone. Stunning composition and fruity juiciness. Extraordinary concentration, excitement and health. All the impact comes from great care on the picking dates - there is no over-extraction, just profound flavour and huge length of red fruit. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
