altogether original and yet not self-preferentially quirky

The palate is extreme

Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan, France 2015 Bordeaux Red medium-length finishThe purity in this wine is really mindblowing. So perfect. Licorice. Stone. Blackberry, blueberry. Full body. The power is amazing. But then it finishes etheral and so agile and beautiful. I am lost for words. This will rank with the best ever from here including 1975 and 1929. 58% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. 100 Pts James Suckling
