Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2015 (12 BT)

Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2015 

Talence (Pessac-Léognan), Grand Cru Classé

Merlot 58%, Cabernet Sauvignon 35%, Cabernet Franc 7%. 70% new barrels. Huge, all-enveloping nose, with brambles and redcurrant jelly. On the palate, great tannic structure, with enormous black liquorice and glycerol. Notes of nutmeg, inky and saline. Immensely satisfying and juicy. A mega 'vin de garde'. In 2019, its superb class and style immediately hit you. Stunning structure, with great length and succulence. Mmm. This is one of my favourites of the vintage. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

Celebrating the life and tastes of an oenophile, this beautiful collection comes to auction from a single, purpose-built and temperature-controlled private cellar in the South of Europe. All the wines were directly purchased from one of the most prestigious, reputable and highly-respected merchants in Bordeaux. The Classic taste of the late owner is obvious, with an impressive depth of Cru Classé Bordeaux on offer from the 1990s to 2010s, with an extensive representation across First Growths to Fifth Growths, together with an outstanding representation of some of the greatest Crus recently produced in Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. Beyond Bordeaux, we glimpse more of the collector’s tastes with a small selection of Super Tuscans and iconic Californian gems. Great vintages are a gift from Mother Nature and this collection has assembled some of the best wines produced in Bordeaux for the past decade in tremendous quantities with a large variety of formats from half bottles to double magnums. This is a cellar to satisfy every wine lover from all over the world.
