Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2019 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is fruity, fresh, elegant and offers a nice definition. It reveals notes of crunchy vine peach, juicy / fleshy apple and ripe lemon associated with exotic fruits as well as a hint of pink grapefruit, pineapple and a subtle mineral hint. The palate is fruity, elegant, delicate and offers sweetness, gourmandize, pulp, a nice tangy frame, a nice freshness, showing radiance as well as purity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy / juicy apple, bright quenette and slightly juicy / ripe pineapple associated with mandarin, sweet lemon as well as a hint of quenette, racy minerality and a subtle point almost acacia flowers (in the background). Good length. A tannic side at the end of the mouth, both in terms of aroma and structure.
