The 2020 Le Mission Haut Brion is a blend of 48.6% Merlot, 43.2% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8.2% Cabernet Franc. This Mission Haut Brion belongs to one of the most beautiful vintages ever and is a worthy successor to the 2016 and 2019 vintages and has been given a score of 100/100 points by Suckling and Parker.
The wine has incredible precision with a medium to full bodied palate with supple and soft tannins and great acidity. It is a wine with incredible focus and definition. The wine is deep garnet purple in color and unfolds in the glass with notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, dark chocolate, violets, tobacco leaf, forest floor and a touch of bergamot.
Neal Martin of the Wine Advocate (Parker) writes about the 2020: "The 2020 La Mission Haut-Brion is a brilliant effort that exhibits a level of balance and integration that are impressive in such a powerful young Bordeaux"
