La Chapelle de La Mission Haut Brion, Pessac Leognan 2016

"The 2016 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion is blended of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36.5% Merlot and 21.5% Cabernet Franc.It absolutely sings of red roses, black tea and tilled black soil with a core of crushed blackberries, Morello cherries and cassis plus a hint of cinnamon stick. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers a great intensity of ripe black berries and floral layers, framed by soft, silken tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral laced." – Wine Advocate

"Tobacco and black currant aromas. It’s tensile, fresh and approachable, with a balanced profile and elegant dark fruit. Succulent and flavorful" – James Suckling
