The 2003 La Chapelle De La Mission Haut-Brion shows classic characteristics of the appellation, tobacco leaf, tobacco smoke, sweet black currants, kirsch and a touch of graphite. It is attractive, soft, medium-bodied, hedonistic and smoky.Chteau La Mission Haut-Brion wine is definitely bewitching. It possesses a great intensity that will delight you with its complexity (a mixture of red fruits) and the signature of its terroir in its empyreumatic notes (Havana cigars, chocolate, roasting, cedar wood and so on). On the palate, the wine is spherical and generous without a trace of aggressiveness. It lengthens on silky tannins, making this wine so obvious that the taster succumbs to its charm.
