2001 Château La Mission Haut-Brion, Cru Classé
Pessac-Léognan AOC, Château La Mission Haut-Brion
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
Perhaps one of the more overlooked vintages in recent years, the Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2001 is one of the finest wines of the vintage. Here, one is immediately taken aback by the precision exuded by the nose: small dark cherries and orange blossom still there, perhaps the mineralité more heightened than ever. The palate displays exquisite balance with nigh on perfect acidity, demonstrating more tension, if not the dimension of the 1990 tasted alongside. This is a serious La Mission
for long-term aging. Drink: 2014 - 2035.
