Medium- to full-bodied, dense and layered, it’s built around a multidimensional core of fruit underpinned by fine, velvety tannins, concluding with a long, perfumed and precise finish. Combining depth with energy, it delivers a textural yet controlled expression of power, with a real sense of freshness. The result is a particularly faithful, charming rendition of La Mission, defined by its elegance and overall precision.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Points Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Signature finesse coupled with clear intensity and concentration, muscular with a juicy frame and crushed red rose petals on the finish.

There is less new oak, at around 59%, the same as Haut-Brion, down from around 80% in recent years. This has a perfumed bouquet, one of the most floral that I can recall, beautifully defined with black cherries, blueberry and crushed violet scents. The palate is medium-bodied with chiselled tannins, a silver thread of acidity, quite linear in style with a strict, tensile, graphite-tinged finish. Yeah, it has to play second fiddle to Haut-Brion this year, but it is still a great La Mission.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcluding Excise Duty \u0026amp; Vat | Billable in 2028\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vat \u0026 Duty Payable in 2028","offers":[{"title":"3 Bottle Case","offer_id":57793755185483,"sku":"WOLEN13010S","price":605.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/9218\/files\/Mission_Haut_Brion.jpg?v=1783523136","url":"https:\/\/wineonline.ie\/products\/la-mission-haut-brion-2025-en-primeur-3-btl-case","provider":"WineOnline","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
