Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2014 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is a bit discreet but elegant, fruity and harmonious. Its reveals notes of ripe black fruit and slight notes of red fruit associated with a few notes of flowers (particularly lilac) and wood. The palate is fruity, fresh, structured, elegant, racy, mineral, nicely complex, dense, smooth and offers good silky matter. In the mouth it expresses notes of strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant and slight spicy notes, blond tobacco, cigar box associated with a touch of clove, a slight toasted note, licorice and chocolate on the finish. Tannins are fine, elegant and elegant. Good length. Cabernet Franc expresses its best in this wine.
