2005 - Mission Haut Brion, La

Dec 10, 2009

One of the highlights of the Barrell Tastings in 2006, the entire Domaine Dillon was stellar. This is a monumental wine; a cornerstone of any serious cellar. I buy to enjoy and this is one of the most reliable purchases you can make. $399.00 per bottle at Bordeaux Specialist, www.mndfinewine.com

2006 - Chapelle de la Mission Haut Brion, La

Dec 10, 2009

This is the first vintage to include the former La Tour Haut Brion grapes. It has made the wine even better. A deep rich black fruit and spice, with the earthy truffle floral aspects. Jean Delmas said La Tour Haut Brion had some of the best old vine cabernet, it makes a noticeable change in the blend. This is a return to the Woltner days when La Tour Haut Brion was the 2nd label. Now La Mission uses La Chapelle as the 2nd label and selects the best for the Grand Vin. 4,000 cases available. Smart buy given La Mission 2006 cost. $48.99
