The color of this wine is very deep, with garnet red reflections. There is a wonderful impression of complexity at first nose. The wood is present but not excessive and well-balanced with notes of chocolate and licorice appear when stirred, these are the markers of very high fruit maturity. The attack on the palate is dense and tight, almost caressing. Then, the wine gains strength, without being aggressive, with fresh fruity tastes. The finish is long with notes of mocha, there are also chocolate flavors. The 2015 is, without a doubt, one of the great vintages of Mission!

Critic Reviews
James Suckling
100 Points
100 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Rose petals, sandalwood and currants with some plums and fruit tea. Full-bodied, tight and focused. Incredibly straight and minerally. Toned muscles here. Tannic. Traditional and unwavering. Try in 2024." 02/18

98 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The deep garnet-purple colored 2015 La Mission Haut-Brion is a blend of 58% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon. Youthfully mute with bright, youthful red currants, black raspberries, cassis and freshly crushed blackberries notions, it slowly unfurls to reveal an earthy/minerally undercurrent of damp soil, charcoal, iron ore and truffles plus a waft of violets. Medium to full-bodied, decadently fruited and yet wonderfully elegant with very ripe, very silky tannins, freshness that sits well in the background and an almost electric intensity of vibrant red and black fruit flavors, it finishes long and minerally. Just. Beautiful. Consider giving it 6-7 years in bottle before broaching and drink it over the next 30+." 2/18

98 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2015 La Mission Haut-Brion is blessed with an outstanding bouquet of brilliantly focused and delineated black fruit laced with graphite and cedar - pure class. The medium-bodied, harmonious palate delivers fine-grained tannin and impressive depth. There is a slight savory element (just like the Haut-Brion) that infuses the middle, and brown spices and sage linger on the finish. This is a profound La Mission Haut-Brion that dares surpass Haut-Brion on this showing. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting." 01/19
