About This Wine
When the 1855 Bordeaux Classification was released, Château Haut-Brion was the only estate selection from Pessac-Léognan. Poor choice. Time proved that decision short-sighted. With 11 perfect scores to its name, including five from Robert Parker, Château La Mission Haut-Brion is widely considered equal to Haut-Brion and other first growth estates. Case in point: 2016 Château La Mission Haut-Brion. The blend of 57.5 merlot and 42.5 cabernet sauvignon leads with unflinching intensity. The deep crimson-purple body unfurls a tidal wave of black currants, black cherries, cocoa, violets, cedar, tobacco, graphite, and spice. Polished tannins contribute to a refined texture with stunning mid-palate presence and a lifted finish. Wine critic Neal Martin even compared the 2016 vintage to the mythic 1955 and 1989. The Final Sip: When it comes to purity and power, few wines of the vintage can match 2016 Château La Mission Haut-Brion.
