Château La Mission Haut Brion 2016

Wie bei einer Entsendung in höherer Sache ist es die Mission dieses anderen Haut Brion, von der ersten Gaumenannäherung an die dem Göttlichen synonyme Perfektion in all ihren faszinierenden Facetten in organoleptische Transzendenz zu decodieren und den Verkoster in Demut zum Appendix seines eigenen Gaumens zu machen, der in kathedraler Verblüffung immer neue Wogen des Seligseins aus der Erfahrung höchstmöglichen Raffinements, salbungsvollster Frische, anstrengungslosester Kraft und erhabenster Balance erfährt.

Ich höre sagen, Pessac stehe in der Qualität 2016 den anderen Appellationen nach. Der La Mission Haut Brion ist dazu der perfekte Gegenentwurf und das viele Geld, das er kostet, wert in dem Sinne, dass seine Malusinsuffizienz ihn wird zu einer Legende reifen lassen.

James Sucklng:

"The texture to this is very beautiful with chewy yet very polished tannins. Full-bodied, tight and mouth-filling. Starts very slowly and then takes off. Love the energy in this."

Antonio Galloni:

"The 2016 La Mission Haut-Brion is a total knockout. Vertical and powerful, but not at all austere, it exudes class. Fine-grained tannins support the fruit, but they are barely felt, as the wine's balance is so extraordinary. Lifted floral notes and a host of red fruits give the 2016 energy and verve. I can't wait to see how it ages."

The Wine Advocate

"The 2016 La Mission Haut Brion is a blend of 57.5% Merlot and 42.5% Cabernet Sauvignon picked between 19 September and 14 October, one of the longest ever. "We had to be patient and wait for each plot," Jean-Philippe Delmas told me. "It took longer than usual." As is customary, I allowed my sample, and likewise all the wines poured at this tasting, around 40-45 minutes to open since they always transform in the glass. It has a clean and precise, quite understated bouquet with fine mineralité, cold stone aromas infusing the black fruit. This has incredible precision, perhaps even more pixelated than the "gaff over the road" Haut-Brion. The palate is medium-bodied with supple and lithe tannin. I appreciate the line of acidity here, the smoothness and harmony that takes your breath away. Every atom is infused with life-affirming freshness. It is a wine bridled with incredible focus and delineation. I thought that the 2015 La Mission Haut-Brion flirted with perfection. The 2016 has that extra edge, a "je ne sais quoi" that leaves you reaching for the thesaurus looking for superlatives."

Decanter Magazine

"Wonderful La Mission this year, graceful but with an unmistakable sense of controlled power. The wine just expands outwards and upwards in your mouth - insistent but terribly polite about it. It is deep and silky, shot through with coffee grounds, damson and soft cassis on a creamy mid-palate, utterly beautiful. There is a real energy and vitality here, with a caressing texture to the tannins and huge persistency on the finish. Dense, and yet so finessed that you could almost drink it today. Wow. The blend is 57.5% Merlot and 42.5% Cabernet Sauvignon with a pH of 3.66, harvested between 19th September and 14th October. Drinking Window 2027 - 2050"

"Glowing deep crimson. Very intense and ripe. Snazzy and spicy. Polished and racy. Very firm and lots of ripe tannins – very much à La Mission. Super-sophisticated. Inky and fresh and so ripe and confident. A dry style but great. Racy but tannic."

"Deep in color, the smoke, tobacco, dark red fruits, earth, espresso and cigar box aromatics keep you busy. Full bodied, concentrated, the wine takes up a lot of room on your palate. It’s long, expansive and is a Cuban cigar dream, provided they also enjoy a big wave of fruit. There is a lot of tannin, but the fruit is so ripe, and sweet, you barely notice it. The wine was made from a blend of 57.5% Merlot and 42.5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The harvest took place from September 19 to October 14. The wine reached 13.7% alcohol, with a pH of 3.66. This represents 50% of the harvest."

Jean-Marc Quarin

"Le meilleur jamais fait ! Couleur intense, belle et pourpre. Nez très aromatique, fin, au fruité mûr, avec une touche de framboise particulièrement séduisante. Fond fumé. Superbe entrée en bouche large. Opulent, le vin se montre extrêmement fruité et très, très frais. Riche et ample au milieu, il fond, complet et complexe, dans une immense finale savoureuse, à la tannicité charnue et royale. Assemblage : 55,5 % merlot, 42,5 % cabernet sauvignon. Alcool : 13,7°, ce qui est faible par rapport à d'autres millésimes. pH : 3,66. IPT : 72. Cette mesure de la concentration tannique était de 75 en 2015, 80 en 2010, 78 en 2009, 76 en 2006, 73 en 2005. A boire à partir de 2028 et avant 2070."

Revue du Vin de France

"Plus strict que d'habitude, le vin est à ce jour typé par les cabernets. Très sophistiquée, la bouche est charnue avec une sensation juteuse en finale qui rend le vin plus aimable qu'en attaque. Hyper élégant, il ira très loin dans le temps."

"Barrel Sample. This is a seductive, rounded and smooth wine, with fine fruit that cushions the solid tannins. It has spicy tones and ample acidity as well as delicious, concentrated fruitiness. This is going to be a beautiful wine."

"Dès sa naissance, on perçoit les arômes fumées si typiques de Pessac et on admire une rondeur et un moelleux qui le rendent un peu plus accessible que Haut-Brion mais avec moins de monumentalité dans le soutien tannique."

"The 2016 La Mission Haut-Brion is flat out gorgeous. Today, La Mission is incredibly primary, with stunning purity in its red/purplish berry fruit. Readers will have to cellar the 2016 for the better part of a decade at a minimum before the telltale aromatics of this fabled château start to blossom in bottle. I adore the 2016 for its gracious personality, fine tannin and remarkable freshness, not to mention that it is absolutely delicious and the kind of wine that is so suggestive of a very bright future."

"The 2016 La Mission Haut-Brion was stunning from barrel, and now in bottle. It has a sublime bouquet of blackberries, briar and hints of dark chocolate and rose petals that gain intensity with aeration while maintaining ethereal delineation. It never steps on the accelerator too hard. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. There is still a veneer of new oak that will need to be assimilated over the coming years. This is a deep La Mission that caresses the mouth. Touches of graphite lingering on a finish that fans out gloriously. Is the 2016 up there with the 1955 or 1989? Nearly."

Yves Beck

"58% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon

Rouge grenat aux reflets violacés. Bouquet complexe, de bonne intensité. Cannelle, poivre noir, mûres et cassis. A l’aération je relève également des notes de menthe et de réglisse. Agréable touche de chocolat noir. La mise en bouche est soyeuse et friande. Le palais reflète parfaitement les caractéristiques olfactives. Tannins élégants, apparaissent très tardivement. Ils sont fins, précis et s’allient idéalement avec la structure qui confère fraîcheur et caractère. Finale persistante et élégante. Un vin élégant, puissant et très prometteur."
