An exceptional wine, a big, seductive classic La Mission, one of the vintage's stars. A very deep dark red colour with mauve reflections. The nose is intense and open with notes of black cherries, blackberries and also spices. The nose is very "Mission".

Description
The wine enters the mouth broad and sweet, tasty, then it rises in tannic power smoothly towards a creamy mid-palate. On the finish the tannic structure tightens, leading to a very beautiful aromatic persistence. The wine is very open, very expressive, very obviously "Grand Vin".
Unfortunately though the production of the 2011 La Mission-Haut-Brion was only 4,100 cases.
