Lisa Perrotti-Brown: The 2018 La Mission Haut-Brion is composed of53.5% Merlot, 42.9% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3.6% Cabernet Franc,harvested September 10 to October 2. Deep purple-black in color, itslowly unfurls to reveal a beguiling nose of earth and soft-spokenfruit, opening with wild blueberries, wet slate, pencil lead andfresh black cherries giving way to a serious core of blackcurrantcordial, baked plums and wild sage, and then exposing delicatewafts of rose hip tea and candied violets. Full-bodied, the palateis very tightly wound and super intense with amazing restraint andenergy focused around very firm, exquisitely fine-grained tanninsand seamless freshness, finishing incredibly long and fantasticallymultilayered. Extraordinary wine.
