CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2019 La Mission Haut-Brion has a beautiful, floral bouquet with touches of pressed violet infusing the black fruit, exquisite delineation and focus; the new oak is seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, pixelated, hints of blood orange and graphite towards the beautifully-framed finish that lingers long in the mouth. Exceptional. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Tasted blind. The colour is a relatively simple crimson. Light nose, but a sweet, slightly oaky start. This doesn t quite seem to belong to this subtle pack. Tea leaves and lots of dramatic, minerally tannin. Long and a little hot. (JR)
