Couleur sombre, intense, pourpre et belle. Nez très aromatique, fin, pur, fruité, subtil et complexe. Moelleux à l'attaque, savoureux en milieu de bouche, caressant et ample sur la bouteille décantée, le vin monte en finale sur un très bel arôme de mûres. Grande persistance complexe et incrachable, au grain fin. Bouteille plus expressive décantée que non décantée.

The 2019 La Mission Haut-Brion unwinds in the glass with aromas of inky berry fruit, wild plums and cherries mingled with notions of warm spices, burning embers and creamy new oak. Full-bodied, deep and layered, it's rich and concentrated, with a deep core of fruit, bright acids and fine, powdery tannins. Powerful and tightly wound, this is less sumptuous and demonstrative out of the gates than its sibling Haut-Brion, but I suspect it possesses even greater potential.

Wonderful depth of flavour, a signature of this château that is just so elegant but is always happy to oblige in delivering delightfully sappy, seductive, gently spiced fruit. Cigar box and tobacco notes, floral peony and iris aromatics. Great second wave of aromatics that is striking and increases the density and width of the palate.

A tight and structured La Mission that takes you deep into the glass with super intensity and power. The tannins are omnipresent and envelop the palate. It’s full-bodied yet agile and complete. Iodine, sweet-tobacco and blackberry character. It seems never to finish. Another WOW wine that reminds me of some of the great classics of this estate, such as the 1955.

Volumineux et solaire mais se distinguant par un toucher exceptionnellement satiné puissant mais gainé de velo rs le vin accentue en 2019 son profil moelleux, affable, par rapport à un Haut-Brion tout en musculature nerveuse. Le fruit noir, nuancé d'encre et de fumé, est véritablement majestueux, d'une intensité et d'une rémanence qui situent le millésime parmi les grands.

Captures the essence of the vintage as well as possible, with a lovely swath of cassis, plum puree and cherry compote flavors that glides along, showing just enough buried spine in the form of alder and iron notes to give this form. Features alluring red tea and savory details that add range on the lengthy finish. Approachable already, but there's no rush here. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2038.
