Owned by the French company Domaine Clarence Dillon, Château La Mission Haut-Brion can trace its history back to the 16th century. The prestigious estate is situated within the Pessac-Léognan appellation, a few miles southwest of Bordeaux’s city centre. The 2008 vintage a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, aged in a combination of new and used oak barrels. The nose is wide open from the start, a clean and pure fruit profile with great complexity. black fruits and a little touch of olives and herbs. Perfect balance on the palate too.
The 2008 La Mission Haut-Brion has an open, feisty, lively bouquet with blackberry, briary, cedar, black olive and a light seaweed (Japanese nori) aroma. This is wonderful, an intoxicating bouquet. The palate is beautifully balanced with a fine bead of acidity, very focused with good weight and structure. This is a very convincing showing, at the moment more pleasurable than the 2008 Haut-Brion, just so fresh and complex, offering a discrete tertiary, smoke-tinged finish that goes on and on. One of the best 2008s out there. (Tasted at BI Wine & Spirit’s annual 10-Year On tasting.) - Neil Martin
