100 / 100 Robert Parker
The 2005 La Mission Haut-Brion is pure perfection. It has an absolutely extraordinary nose of sweet blackberries, cassis and spring flowers with some underlying minerality, a full-bodied mouthfeel, gorgeously velvety tannins (which is unusual in this vintage) and a long, textured, multi-layered finish that must last 50+ seconds. This is a fabulous wine and a great effort from this hallowed terroir. Drink this modern-day legend over the next 30+ years. Only 5,500 cases were produced of this blend of 69% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc.

The Indian spices and blackberry on the nose are so enticing and inspiring, leading to a full-bodied palate, with very polished tannins that caress. Goes on and on as this builds on the palate, with a mineral and berry aftertaste. For long-term aging. Best after 2015. 5,665 cases made.

18 / 20 Jancis Robinson
Deep classic shaded crimson. High-toned mineral nose that should really satisfy traditionalists. A savoury yeast-extract/Marmite edge. Very directed and focused and Cabernet on the palate – almost essence of Cabernet. Marked acidity and tannin. Utterly classic – not an ounce of spare flesh. Everything there for a fine, long future.
