Bordeaux Total René Gabriel:

62 % Merlot, 38 % Cabernet Sauvignon. Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Warmes, pflaumiges Bouquet, dominikanischer Tabak und frisch gerösteter Kaffee, Nussmehl und Pumpernickel. Konzentrierter Gaumen, auch hier wieder eine wunderschöne Wärme in den Tanninen ausstrahlend, erst im Nachklang kommen recht strenge, sehnige Tannine zum Tragen. Aussen weich - innen mit gewisser Härte. Das wird kein leichter Spaziergang für seine Zukunft. Ungeduldige sollten eh gleich die Finger davon lassen. Aus Zuversicht aufgerundet, denn ein solches Potential ist immer ein zuverlässiger Garant für viel später. Trinkreife 2020-2048. Bewertung 18/20. -René Gabriel-

Robert Parker Wine Advocate:

Tasted blind at the Southwold 2012 tasting, the 2012 La Mission Haut-Brion showed brilliantly. It has an intense, floral bouquet with rose petals and strawberry preserve, hints of sous-bois and tobacco gently unfolding in the glass, gaining more earthiness as it aerates in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, broad and spicy with hints of bell pepper suggesting high quality Cabernet Franc. It fans out gloriously with a sustained tertiary finish that completes what is a wondrous La Mission Haut-Brion from Jean-Philippe Delmas and his team. Tasted January 2012. Drink Date 2020-2050. Rating 96/100. – Neal Martin-

Vinous:

One of the clear wines of the vintage, the 2012 La Mission Haut-Brion shows off a vertical sense of structure along with imposing tannins and serious depth. The flavors are dark, bold and extremely vivid. Dark red cherry, smoke, grilled herbs, graphite and blackberry jam are some of the many notes that come alive on the finish. This brooding La Mission needs a few years to settle down after which it will offer spectacular drinking for several decades. In a word: magnificent! Drink Date 2022-2042. Rating 96/100. -Antonio Galloni-

James Suckling:

Gorgeous aromas of stones, currants and blueberries. Very aromatic. Mesmerizing. Full body, silky tannins and a long finish. Dense and rich. Layered. Earth and bark character. Lots of structure for the vintage. Rating 94/100. -JamesSuckling.com-

Jancis Robinson:

Tasted blind. Straightforward crimson. Very aromatic and then sweet and flattering. Still quite edgy tannins there in abundance, with the fruit only just trumping them. Long and impressive with just a hint of dark chocolate on the finish. Pretty smart with a long way to go. Very sweet but vibrant. Drink Date 2025-2045. Rating 18+/20. -Jancis Robinson-
