The 2020 La Mission Haut-Brion delivers pure class from the first sip. Crushed violets and cassis emerge with beautiful clarity, while perfectly integrated oak adds subtle complexity without overwhelming the fruit. The palate shows remarkable precision with silky tannins and a cashmere-like texture that builds to a gloriously persistent finish. Jean-Philippe Delmas has crafted something truly sensational here. Drink 2028-2050.
