CHÂTEAU LA MISSION HAUT BRION ‘LA CHAPELLE DE LA MISSION HAUT-BRION’, PESSAC LEOGNAN 2015

45% Cabernet Sauvignon
30% Merlot
25% Cabernet Franc

Lush, offering gorgeous waves of plum sauce, cassis and steeped raspberry and blackberry fruit flavors that are infused with black tea, roasted apple wood and melted black licorice. The long finish lets everything cruise through, with a seamless feel. Almost approachable because of the polish, but there’s absolutely no rush here. A jaw-dropping display of powerfully rendered fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
