La Mission Haut Brion Blanc 2012 (750ML)

This blend of 84% Semillon and 16% Sauvignon Blanc is from the vineyard that used to be known as Laville Haut-Brion. Bursting with aromas of candle wax, honeyed tangerines, exotic melon and lychee nut-like notes, it exhibits terrific minerality along with a full-bodied mouthfeel, exceptional concentration, great acids and a long finish that lasts 40+ seconds. ...96-98+ WA 04/13

"""This is very clear and precise with limes, lemons and sliced pineapple. Full body, tangy fruit and a dense, caressing, textured finish. Racy. Needs three to four years to soften...96"" JS 02/15"

"“The 2012 La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc is a real stunner. All the elements fall into place in an utterly spellbinding white wine endowed with class and pedigree to burn. A host of orchard fruit, lemon oil, mint and sweet floral notes flesh out, but it is the wine's overall feel and phenomenal, precise finish that elevate it into to the stratosphere. The 2012 can be enjoyed now, but it will also age for decades....95"" Antonio Galloni, VM 1/16"
