2018 Chateau La Mission Haut Brion

The 2018 Chateau La Mission Haut Brion from Bordeaux, France is a true masterpiece from the renowned Clarence Dillon estate. This vintage showcases a deep ruby red colour, with aromas of rich dark fruits, such as blackcurrants, plums, and blackberries, layered with hints of tobacco, leather, and cedar. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a velvety texture and a perfect balance of tannins and acidity. Flavours of ripe cherries, blackberries, and a touch of spice dance on the tongue, leading to a long, lingering finish. This wine has the potential to age beautifully for decades, but is also enjoyable now with decanting. It is a true representation of the excellence and elegance of Bordeaux wines, and a must-try for any serious wine connoisseur.
