Another stunning effort that performs even better out of bottle than it did from barrel, the 2008 La Chapelle de la Mission is a blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Aromas of scorched earth, blueberries and black currants, a juicy, savory, broad mouthfeel and powerful flavors are velvety as well as opulent. Enjoy this 2008 over the next 12-15 years.

91-93 Barrel sample. Smoky aromas, considerable new wood, spice and blackcurrant stalkiness. There is a definite amount of fruit, but the wood does dominate. The final texture is dark and dry.
88-91
Offers currant and plum on the nose, with hints of young sweet tobacco. Medium- to full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and silky tannins. Medium finish. Score range: 88-91 -JS
La Mission Haut-Brion<br /> <br /> Chateau La Mission Haut Brion has been under the same ownership and management as Chateau Haut-Brion since 1983. Cultivated by monks until the French revolution, the Chateau produce approximately 10,000 cases per annum. It is a strong contender for first growth status. Their red is consistently powerful with dark plum and earthy notes, requiring at least 10 years cellaring. They also do one of Bordeaux’s top whites. Their white wine has received the maximum of 100 points by reviewers.
