La Mission Haut-Brion 2008
CRITIC REVIEWS
Jancis Robinson
Tasted blind. Bit smudgy. Sweet and simple. Lots of pinched dry tannins on the end. Lots there but not the purest expression of 2008. Drying end.
Jane Anson
Elegant and fresh, with beautiful crushed raspberry fruits - proof that 2008 is a vintage where terroir wins out. This all happens on the retro-olfaction: there you are thinking its a little under-perfumed for a Mission, but then it kicks back with a smoky swirl through the palate and the aromatics take hold. Its very good, showing savoury black fruits on the finish and the gentlest hint of cigar box and cedar oak.
