La Mission Haut Brion 2006

La Mission Haut Brion 2006 is a true revelation, boasting a deep, intense purple-violet color that immediately catches the eye. The nose is nothing short of exuberant, showcasing an explosive complexity of aromas that captivate the senses with every whiff. The palate is equally impressive, beginning with a sweet sensation that quickly expands into a rich, full-bodied wine that leaves an unforgettable impression. The tannins are mature and well-structured, a testament to the concentration and depth of this wine. Despite its power, the wine is impeccably balanced, with a refreshing acidity that carries the flavors to a remarkable length. Every sip is a journey of discovery, a perfectly orchestrated symphony that leaves no room for rest.

Robert Parker - 95 Points

"The 2006 La Mission Haut-Brion is showing very well at age 15, and even though it's still five or six years away from the beginning of its plateau of maturity, it is already quite expressive, wafting from the glass with aromas of blackberries and blackcurrants mingled with notions of smoke, cigar wrapper, black truffle and loamy soil. Full-bodied, fleshy and muscular, with a richly layered core of fruit framed by an abundance of ripe, powdery tannin, in a blind tasting I suspect many would confuse it with a 2005."

Antonio Galloni - 92+ Points

"Bright red-ruby. Redcurrant, cherry, iron, brown spices and licorice on the nose. Begins lush, full and generous if not overly sweet, then tightens up with air, showing its rather powerful underlying structure. This sharply delineated wine will need a good seven or eight years in bottle to reveal itself."
