Commentaire et note de Jean-Marc Quarin 97 points (avril 2016) Ma meilleure note donnée à ce cru en primeur à égalité avec le 2009. Grand vin à la couleur intense et profonde, au nez fin, pur, fruité, crémeux, noble, complexe. Ample à l’attaque, juteux au développement, riche au milieu, le vin fond tout en prenant de la puissance et donnant un sentiment de retenue. C’est superbe ! Grande finale complexe et parfumée. L’élevage pourrait le grandir. Assemblage : 58 % merlot, 35 % cabernet sauvignon, 7 % cabernet franc. Degré d’alcool : 15.1, pH 3.74. IPT 75.
Neal Martin 97-99 points www.robertparker.com The 2015 La Mission Haut Brion is a blend of 58% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Cabernet Franc that was picked between 9 September and 1 October. Matured in 78% new oak, it has an incredibly pure bouquet with intense blueberry, blackberry, iodine and cold stone aromas that soar from the glass. There is nothing holding back here – a La Mission with real exuberance. The palate is medium-bodied with incredible intensity in the mouth, but without any leaden weight. It is a startling La Mission Haut-Brion to behold at this early stage. It is one of those wines where as a professional critic, I had to adopt a poker face to hide the untrammeled joy this nascent wine imparts. Complete and profound, the 2015 will rank as one of the great modern-day classics from this grand estate, another to add to that long list of magical La Mission.
Antonio Galloni 94-97 points www.vinous.com In 2015, La Mission Haut-Brion is translucent and deeply expressive to the core. Remarkably polished for such a young wine, the 2015 also handles its 15% alcohol with grace. Smoke, graphite, tar, leather and incense, the 2015 exudes intensity allied to freshness, a combination that makes it virtually irresistible in my book. The 2015 is also remarkably nuanced for such a big wine, but it has tremendous persistence in all directions. Scents of rose petal, mint, red cherry and pomegranate meld into the voluptuous finish. Tasted two times.
