La Chapelle de la Mission Haut Brion 2021

Subtle and sculpted, with clarity to the vivid and ripe sweet cherry, raspberry and loganberry fruits. This is bright and great quality, takes its time to open, but then shows waves of flavour, with smoked earth and campfire smoke. The lower alcohols are unusual in the Haut-Brion range of wines, and it takes a moment to adjust to the different weight in the palate. Subtle, this takes its time to open. 92 Jane Anson.
