Description
CHATEAU HAUT BRION ROUGE (PESSAC LEOGNAN)
This wine is offered on a Futures Basis and not available for immediate shipment.
The 2022 La Mission Haut-Brion is matured in 70% new oak. It has a very refined bouquet with mineral-driven dark berry fruit, hints of Earl Grey and freshly-rolled tobacco, focused with exquisite delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins that still provide the backbone to what is the most elegant La Missions that I have tasted at this stage. It is harmonious and silky toward its extremely persistent finish. At the moment, it has got its nose just in front of its First Growth sibling…at least at the moment. For sure, it's going to be one of the standouts of the 2022 vintage. 97-99pts., Neal Martin, Vinous
