La Mission Haut Brion 2009 (750ML)
Experience the legendary power and finesse of this Pessac-Léognan Grand Cru Classé, a true masterpiece from Bordeaux's left bank. The 2009 vintage showcases the complexity and depth of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with notes of blackcurrant, graphite, and tobacco, leading to a refined, age-worthy wine with a long, lingering finish.
Critical Acclaim
James Suckling
98 Points, James Suckling: "This is already closing with blueberry, mineral, fresh herbs, and licorice. Full-bodied, with ultra fine tannins yet muscular and racy. This is already very firm and tight. Yet muscular like a world-class ballerina. Muscular. Try after 2018." 3/12
Wine Spectator
96 Points, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator: "This is forcefully rendered, with dark tar, espresso and chocolate up front, backed by dense layers of fig sauce, currant reduction and smoldering black tea leaves. There's dense flesh and great drive on the finish, which has serious grip. Best from 2016 through 2035. 6,000 cases made. " 3/12
Wine Advocate
100 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Adovcate: "The deep garnet colored 2009 La Mission Haut-Brion absolutely sings of warm red and black currants, chocolate-covered cherries, liquid licorice, sassafras and espresso with hint of lilacs, pencil shavings and truffles. Full-bodied, rich, bold and oh-so-decadent in the mouth, the palate is completely packed with black fruit preserves and exotic spice layers, framed by wonderfully velvety tannins and seamless freshness, finishing epically long. Wow!" 3/19
