Château La Mission Haut-Brion

2012 Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc, Pessac-Léognan AOC, Château La Mission Haut-Brion   Falstaff: Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, zart tabakig, ein Hauch von Unterholz, dunkles Beerenkonfit, mineralische Nuancen, zart nach Lakritze und Brombeeren. Saftig, rotbeerig, rassige Säurestruktur, präsente Tannine, sehr salzig, im Moment verschlossen, feine zitronige Nuancen, besitzt gute Frische und Länge, braucht Zeit, dunkler Nougat im Nachhall. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Tasted blind at the Southwold 2012 tasting, the 2012 La Mission Haut-Brion showed brilliantly. It has an intense, floral bouquet with rose petals and strawberry preserve, hints of sous-bois and tobacco gently unfolding in the glass, gaining more earthiness as it aerates in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, broad and spicy with hints of bell pepper suggesting high quality Cabernet Franc. It fans out gloriously with a sustained tertiary finish that completes what is a wondrous La Mission Haut-Brion from Jean-Philippe Delmas and his team. (NM) Jancis Robinson: Tasted blind. Straightforward crimson. Very aromatic and then sweet and flattering. Still quite edgy tannins there in abundance, with the fruit only just trumping them. Long and impressive with just a hint of dark chocolate on the finish. Pretty smart with a long way to go. Very sweet but vibrant.
