95 Robert Parker
The small production (4,150 cases) of 2011 La Mission-Haut-Brion displays the nobility and complexity of this great terroir. Burning embers, scorched earth, blueberry, black currant, licorice and spice aromas jump from the glass of this dense ruby/purple-colored wine. With full body (atypical for a 2011), but no hard edges, this opulent, multidimensional, fleshy, rich, stunningly long, well-balanced La Mission is another great achievement in what has been nearly a century of producing remarkable wines from this hallowed vineyard. The long 2011 should be reasonably mature in another 4-6 years, and last for two decades. It will always be a revelation in a vintage that is unlikely to receive a lot of exciting press. The final blend was 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and 11% Cabernet Franc.<br/><br/>Jean-Philippe Delmas continues to quietly and authoritatively turn out one great wine after another at La Mission-Haut-Brion and Haut-Brion.

The 2011 La Mission Haut-Brion is well defined and very focused on the nose: blackberry, briary and graphite, quite mineral-driven with an impressive sense of energy. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, good tension, quite precise with attractive black pepper and graphite notes, poised and showing good breeding on the finish. This is excellent. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.

55 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 34 % Merlot, 11 % Cabernet Franc. Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Das Bouquet ist verhalten, Teernoten, Lakritze, schwarze Trüffel, wenig Süsse, im zweiten Ansatz Brazil-Tabak und doch noch eine feine Süsse zeigend mit etwas Cassisnoten im Innern. Wirkt fleischig mit einer gesunden Cabernet-Arroganz, viel Baumnussschalen, mehliges Extrakt, guter Rückhalt und eine verlangende Adstringenz. Absolut kein Schnellstarter und voll in die Klassik greifend. warten (2018 - 2045)

This sports a pleasantly grippy edge of briar and cassis bush notes, with a densely layered core of dark fig, blackberry and black currant fruit that should move to the fore soon enough. The long, mesquite-tinged finish has solid grip. Best from 2016 through 2030. –JM

Château La Mission Haut Brion
Appartenant, lui aussi à la famille Dillon, il ne fait aucun doute que le Château La Mission Haut-Brion se classe au deuxième rang des meilleurs producteurs de l’appellation Pessac-Léognan, seul son voisin et producteur éminent des Graves – le Château Haut-Brion – pouvant revendiquer la première place. Forte d’une histoire qui remonte au début du 16ème siècle, la Mission Haut-Brion rivalise à juste titre avec son alter ego. La comparaison ne porte pas uniquement sur les meilleurs millésimes, le domaine ayant été qualifié de premier cru potentiel en 2009. La Tour Haut-Brion, cru classé de Pessac-Léognan, faisait figure auparavant de second vin de La Mission. Il s’agit aujourd’hui d’une marque indépendante, mais toujours gérée par la famille Dillon. La propriété, qui s’étend sur 29 hectares, est vouée essentiellement à la production de ses excellents vins rouges. La Mission Haut-Brion constitue le fleuron du domaine, incarnant le style maison, c’est-à-dire un vin riche, dense, puissant et fermenté en barrique. Le château élabore également La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion, un second vin plus mûr mais qui reste séduisant.
