Beschreibung

2010 Château La Mission Haut-Brion, Cru Classé  
Pessac-Léognan AOC, Château La Mission Haut-Brion  

Falstaff:
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Etwas verhalten, zarte Zwetschkenfrucht, dunkle Beeren, ein Hauch von Cassis, zarte Edelholzwürze im Hintergrund, ein Hauch von Nougat und Karamell. Saftig, extraktsüß und delikat am Gaumen, kraftvoll, aber nicht üppig, perfekte Tannine, schokoladiger Ton im Abgang, mineralisch und anhaltend, feine dunkle Beerenfrucht im Abgang, große Länge, riesiges Zukunftspotenzial. Genial.  

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
Deep garnet colored, the 2010 La Mission Haut-Brion has a commanding, profound nose of baked blackberries, boysenberries and warm cassis plus suggestions of candied violets, red roses, chocolate box, cedar chest and smoked meats with a waft of iron ore. Full-bodied, powerful and hedonic, the palate bursts with expressive black fruits and floral sparks, framed by exquisitely ripe, grainy tannins and beautiful freshness, finishing with epic length. A real head-turner, this beauty is already very impressive, but for that full WOW experience I would give it another 3-5 years in bottle to blossom.
