Purity of blueberry, blackcurrant and chocolate character here. Shell and iodine. It’s full-bodied, chewy and structured with lots of cool tannins that lead long through the center of the wine. Second wine of La Mission. Needs four or five years to soften. Drinking range: 2025 - Rating: 94 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Feb 2021)
This has an enticing set of steeped red and black currant and mulled plum aromas and flavors, along with black tea, savory and tar notes that cruise in on the long, suave, mesquite-accented finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drinking range: 2022 - 2034 Rating: 93 James Molesworth, The Wine Spectator (Jan 2021)
The 2018 La Chappelle De La Mission Haut-Brion is a beautiful effort that offers terrific class and purity. A blend of 51.6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40.8% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc harvested between the 10th of September to the 2nd of October, its vivid ruby/purple color is followed by attractive notes of cassis, black raspberries, crushed rocks, white flowers, and spice. Incredibly elegant, silky, and light on its feet, it has fine tannins and is already impossible to resist. Rating: 92-94 Jeb Dunnuck, www.jebdunnuck.com (May 2019)
