Château La Mission Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan, 2009, 75cl Nyhed The result is a wineThe deep garnet colored 2009 La Mission Haut Brion absolutely sings of warm red and black currants, chocolate covered cherries, liquid licorice, sassafras and espresso with hints of lilacs, pencil shavings and truffles. Full bodied, rich, bold and oh so decadent in the mouth, the palate is completely packed with black fruit preserves and exotic spice layers, framed by wonderfully velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing epically long. Wow!
