A superstar of this great vintage, the 2006 La Mission Haut-Brion is as
profound as the 1989, 1982, and 1975. It is more structured and tannic
than the 1989, more civilized and refined, but not as thick as the
1982, and sweeter as well as purer than the 1975. The 2000 is neither
flamboyant nor accessible, but what upside potential it possesses! In
time, one might have to return to the prodigious duo of 1959 and 1961
to find a La Mission with this much potential. While still tight from
bottling, its inky purple color is accompanied by extravagantly sweet
aromas of blackberries, blueberries, toast, scorched earth,
coffee, asphalt, graphite, and smoke. Super-intense and
unctuously-textured, with a sumptuous mid-palate and finish, this is an
explosively rich, layered effort that possesses everything I could ever
want from a terroir that has given me as much hedonistic and
intellectual pleasure as any other wine in the world. It is an amazing
achievement for administrator Jean-Bernard Delmas, his son,
Jean-Phillipe, and the entire wine making team. The phenomenal
aftertaste goes on for over a minute. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2045.
