Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Cru Classe 2005

100
/100

Simpelthen sort og uigennemsigtig. En supererotisk, eksotisk frugtnæse. Sort frugt. Brombær, men også solbær, cassis. Æterisk. Duftens intensitet gør dig svimmel. Næsen minder meget om den store 89'er, måske lidt mere harmonisk. I munden mærkes de enorme tanninmasser, som er superpolerede og fine. Alkoholen er knap nok mærkbar, man kan bare fornemme den. Meget flot raciness, god længde. Cabernet'en er tydelig på trods af det overvejende indtryk af sort frugt. Her igen et strejf af eksotisme. Meget voluminøs, tæt og næsten tyk vin. Meget afbalanceret. Eksotismen og racen gør den smuk. 100/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Cru Classe

Utterly seamless and as insanely good as it gets, the 2005 Château La Mission Haut-Brion checks in as 69% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc raised in a mix of new and used barrels. Its deep ruby/plum hue is followed by an incredible perfume of blackcurrants, smoked tobacco, chocolate, leafy herbs, and graphite that’s to die for. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated on the palate, with tons of structure, it nevertheless glides across the palate with no sensation of weight or heaviness and has incredible length on the finish. This is a quintessential, opulent, sexy La Mission that isn’t far off the style of the 2009. It needs air to show at its best today but is unquestionably in the early stages of its prime drinking window. It will evolve for another 30-40+ years in cold cellars. 100/100

Parker om: Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Cru Classe

The 2005 La Mission Haut-Brion is pure perfection. It has an absolutely extraordinary nose of sweet blackberries, cassis and spring flowers with some underlying minerality, a full-bodied mouthfeel, gorgeously velvety tannins (which is unusual in this vintage) and a long, textured, multi-layered finish that must last 50+ seconds. This is a fabulous wine and a great effort from this hallowed terroir. Drink this modern-day legend over the next 30+ years. Only 5,500 cases were produced of this blend of 69% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc. 100/100

Galloni om: Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Cru Classe

The 2005 La Mission Haut-Brion is unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage. Effusive aromatics and bright, red-toned fruit make a strong first impression. A wine of vertical intensity and explosive energy, the 2005 is a towering masterpiece. Today it is just at the beginning of a long drinking window that will last another few decades. Red cherry, plum, leather, spice, gravel, smoke, blood orange and pomegranate infuse the palate staining finish. In 2005, La Mission is a wine that satisfies all the senses, from the intellectual to the hedonistic. Magnificent. Tasted two times. 100/100
