Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Feine Kräuterwürze, schwarze Waldbeeren, frische Kirschen, ein Hauch von Limettenzesten, frisches Bukett. Saftig, strukturiert, reife Herzkirschen, integrierte Tannine, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, schon gut entwickelt, delikater, trinkanimierender Stil geprägt von Frische und Präzison.

The 2019 La Mission haut-Brion is composed of 53 % Merlot, 39,5 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 7,5 % Cabernet Franc, harvested from the 11th of September to the 2nd of October. The estimated label alcohol degree is 14,5 %. Very deep purple-black in color, it slowly unfurls in the glass to reveal a beguiling perfume of violets, black forest cake, wild blueberries and kirsch with nuances of star anise. Cast-iron pan, pencil lead and crused rocks plus a waft of wild sage. The full-bodied palate is densely laden with layers of black fruit, earth and floral-laced flavors, framed by exquisitely ripe, finely grained tannins and compelling freshness, finishing with great length and loads of mineral sparks. A wine of impeccable breeding, both decadently flamboyant and provocatively graceful, this is alreday a prodigous wine of indisputable beauty.
