Pessac Leognan, Grand Cru Classe
1 bottle per lot
Regular height, excellent appearance.
30% cabarnet sauvignon, 69% merlot, 1% cabarnet franc
RP 100, WS 97
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 modernday 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.
Robert Parker, June 2015.
