Bordeaux Total René Gabriel:

40 % Grand Vin. 51 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 43 % Merlot, 6 % Cabernet Franc. Dunkles Rubin-Granat mit lila Schimmer. Delikates Bouquet, Kirschenschalen, Tabak, wunderschön floraler Touch als mitteltiefe Würze zeigend. Recht fest im Gaumen, fleischig mit Muskeln, etwas asketisch, gut stützende Säure und ziemlich markante Tannine, noch etwas aufrauend in der Textur, Baumnussschalen mit einer Mission-typischen Bitternote im Nachklang. Ein männlicher Mission im Stil von 1988 und 1994. Bewertung 18/20. -René Gabriel-

Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

Like a lot of wines in this underrated vintage, the 2008 La Mission was one of the great bargains of recent vintages. Its healthy blue/purple color is followed by aromas of blueberries, black raspberries, licorice, truffles, underbrush and forest floor. The scorched earthy/smoky character of this estate’s terroir has not yet emerged. Medium to full-bodied and concentrated with good acidity, freshness and delineation, this is a big wine for the vintage, but also very classic in its balance of tannin, acidity and extract. It will benefit from another 5-7 years of cellaring and should keep for three decades. The final blend was 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc. Drink Date 2017-2047. Rating 95/100. – Robert M. Parker, Jr.-

Vinous:

The 2008 La Mission Haut-Brion has an open, feisty, lively bouquet with blackberry, briary, cedar, black olive and a light seaweed (Japanese nori) aroma. This is wonderful, an intoxicating bouquet. The palate is beautifully balanced with a fine bead of acidity, very focused with good weight and structure. This is a very convincing showing, at the moment more pleasurable than the 2008 Haut-Brion, just so fresh and complex, offering a discrete tertiary, smoke-tinged finish that goes on and on. One of the best 2008s out there. (Tasted at BI Wine & Spirit’s annual 10-Year On tasting.). Drink Date 2020-2055. Rating 96+/100. -Neal Martin-

Jancis Robinson:

51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc. Aged 15–18 months in 75% new oak. Heady green, sappy aromas. Blackcurrant fruit and spice too, albeit less obviously than the herbal scent. Then, the palate gives way to more primary fruit, and it is still seems to be in the first flush of youth. Much more development is surely in store. Plenty of tannin to go the distance too. Drink Date 2015-2028. Rating 17++/20. - Richard Hemming-
