Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Cru Classe 2016

57,5% Merlot, 42,5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Tæt, krydret næse. Meget klassisk La Mission Haut Brion, og på trods af hovedparten af Merlot dominerer Cabernet. Solbær er i forgrunden. Fin og sublim. Utroligt greb i munden, meget frisk, masser af syre, rige tanniner, men velpoleret. Måske mangler der lidt sødt kød i midten, og derfor synes jeg, den er lidt ubalanceret. Men utrolig lang og elegant. Det er en fin vin. Men i sin lidt massive, tanninrige stil finder jeg den lidt ubalanceret. Meget tryk, meget længde, meget mineralitet, men jeg foretrak personligt de andre superstjerner i appellationen som Haut Bailly, Pape Clement, Smith, Carmes og Seguin. De havde et plus i storheds- og charmefaktoren. Ikke desto mindre en meget god La Mission for det evige liv. 97-100/100

Neal Martin om: Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Cru Classe

The 2016 La Mission Haut-Brion was stunning from barrel, and now in bottle. It has a sublime bouquet of blackberries, briar and hints of dark chocolate and rose petals that gain intensity with aeration while maintaining ethereal delineation. It never steps on the accelerator too hard. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. There is still a veneer of new oak that will need to be assimilated over the coming years. This is a deep La Mission that caresses the mouth. Touches of graphite lingering on a finish that fans out gloriously. Is the 2016 up there with the 1955 or 1989? Nearly. 99/100

Parker om: Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Cru Classe

The 2016 La Mission Haut-Brion is a blend of 57.5% Merlot and 42.5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple in color, it is just a little muted to begin, soon unfurling to reveal slowly growing scents of crushed blackcurrants, black cherries, dark chocolate and candied violets with nuances of crushed rocks, tobacco leaf, forest floor and fragrant earth plus a hint of bergamot. Medium-bodied and exquisitely elegant, the palate offers perfectly ripe, fine-grained tannins and tons of freshness with layer upon layer of perfumed fruit and a very long, ferrous-laced finish. 98+/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau La Mission Haut Brion Cru Classe

The 2016 La Mission Haut-Brion checks in as a Merlot-heavy blend, 57.5% Merlot and 42.5% Cabernet Sauvignon. About as pure and seamless (yet sexy) as they come in the vintage, it offers awesome notes of dried flowers, sweet currants, cedarwood, forest floor, and exotic spices. With a flawless texture, medium to full body, and ultra-fine tannins, this beauty builds incrementally on the palate with terrific mid-palate depth and a stunning finish. It’s sexier and more charming compared to the more backward Haut Brion, yet I suspect it will age just as long. 98+/100
