[Chateau La Mission Haut Brion 1996]

Robert Parker Rating: 90/100

Chateau La Mission Haut Brion and the Bordeaux First Growth Chateau Haut-Brion are both owned by the Dillon family, and they are only a road apart.Since the Jesuit priests took over the vineyard in 1682, the estate began to gain fame, and its name originated from this.The priests toiled diligently in the vineyard and poured a lot of effort into it, and within less than a century, it had become one of the top wineries in the region.La Mission Haut Brion has a rich complexity, a deep purple color, and possesses sufficient tannins, strength, and abundant fruitiness.La Mission-Haut-Brion is generous and stable, capable of producing good wine in both good and bad years.

"Chateau La Mission Haut Brion 1996 is fully mature, exuding the rich and fragrant aromas of damp earth, bramble bushes, asphalt, Asian soybeans, as well as ripe plums and cherries. This 1996 wine, with its medium body, seems to be on a fast track of development." It exhibits a wealth of delicious fruit, soft tannins, and enough acidity to provide clarity. I am surprised by how open and mature this wine has become."
