Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2018
Descrição
Larga guarda y una añada espectacular en un vino de leyenda, que ha alcanzado siete veces los 100 puntos Parker. Con un registro más denso y opulento que su vecino Haut Brion, La Mission Haut Brion es un vino mítico, altamente apreciado por los más conocedores. Notas ahumadas típicas de su terroir y una elegancia extrema son sus señas de identidad en cada añada. Codiciado entre coleccionistas, la añada 2000 por ejemplo se cotiza en unos 6.000 en el mercado. Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Advocate) tras su cata en barricas el pasado marzo de 2021 le otorgó un rango de puntuación de 99 puntos Parker. ¿Será la octava añada en alcanzar la cima?

Avaliação dos especialistas
The 2018 La Mission Haut-Brion is a blend of 53.5% Merlot, 42.9% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3.6% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it emerges from the glass with a first wave of stewed black and red plums, mulberries and black raspberries scents, followed by pronounced notions of warm cassis, clove oil, violets and chocolate box, with hints of cast-iron pan, pencil lead and forest floor coming through after a few minutes. The medium to full-bodied palate shimmers with energy, delivering layers of red and black fruits with earthy and mineral sparks and a texture so satiny you need to remember to look for it, finishing with amazing vibrancy. This is so wonderfully evocative and singular, and yet it feels like its holding something back. It makes for an impressive glass right now, but give it a good 5 years in bottle to allow further nuances to emerge and expect it to seriously reward those who can wait a good 12-15 years, when it should really hit its stride.
Enticing aromas of currant, crushed stone, blueberry, lead pencil, iodine and graphite follow through to a full body with round, chewy tannins that are polished and powerful, yet balanced and beautiful. In the end, the tannins are compact and tight at the finish. But you want to drink it. Try after 2027, when it will open.
