James Suckling bewertet den Chateau La Mission Haut Brion 2018 rouge Pessac Loegnan wie folgt:

A tight and linear red with fantastic oyster-shell, iodine and crushed-stone character, complementing the currants and blackberries. Extremely long and fresh.



Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau La Mission Haut Brion 2018 rouge Pessac Loegnan wie folgt:

The 2018 La Mission Haut-Brion is bright and punchy, with lovely radiant fruit and a good deal of immediacy. Sweet red and purplish berry fruit, mint, tobacco, blood orange and wild flowers all grace this expressive, open-knit La Mission. It will be interesting to see what develops with elevage. Today, La Mission is decidedly expressive, and yet its typical layers of nuance are not yet especially in evidence. In 2018, La Mission is 53.5% Merlot, 42.9% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3.6% Cabernet Franc.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau La Mission Haut Brion 2018 rouge Pessac Loegnan wie folgt:

The 2018 La Mission Haut-Brion is composed of 53.5% Merlot, 42.9% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3.6% Cabernet Franc, harvested September 10 to October 2. Deep purple-black in color, it slowly unfurls to reveal a beguiling nose of earth and soft-spoken fruit, opening with wild blueberries, wet slate, pencil lead and fresh black cherries giving way to a serious core of blackcurrant cordial, baked plums and wild sage, and then exposing delicate wafts of rose hip tea and candied violets. Full-bodied, the palate is very tightly wound and super intense with amazing restraint and energy focused around very firm, exquisitely fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing incredibly long and fantastically multilayered. Extraordinary wine.

Cuvee: 42,90 Cabernet Sauvignon / 53,5 Merlot / 3,6 Cabernet FrancErntezeitpunkt: zwischen 10. September und 02. OctoberMittlere bis volle Konzentration, die Nase ist sauber und definiert, tiefgründige Nuancen, zarte Würze. Blaubeerige Frucht, etwas Schoko. Am Gaumen Massen an superreifen Tanninen, tolle Balance, schon jetzt! Sehr klarer fruchtiger Nachgeschmack, die Säure ist ebenfalls frisch aber nicht ganz so fordernd wie bei den Zeitweinen, sehr lang! und vergibt ihm 95-97 Punkte.
