Expert Reviews
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.
Aromas of red plums and pomegranate on the initial attack display a lighter, fresher style than is often the case at La Mission Haut-Brion. The texture is still firmly tannic, but the wine is starting to open slowly. The blend is 59% Merlot and 40% Merlot. The picking of the Merlot began before the rain on 7 September, but the Cabernet was harvested later. The wine was aged in 80% new barrels until June 2008. Ideally, one would cellar this wine for another five years and consume it over the next 20.
