98 Points - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
"The 2016 Château La Mission Haut-Brion Magnum is a spectacular expression of this prestigious estate, showing intense aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries, tobacco, graphite, and spice. The nose is beautifully layered with hints of cedar, fresh herbs, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, boasting firm yet silky tannins that support a rich core of black fruit flavors intertwined with mineral and earthy nuances. The wine has a lively acidity that provides freshness and balance to the dense fruit, culminating in a long, complex, and persistent finish. This magnum bottle preserves the wine’s vibrancy exceptionally well and is expected to age gracefully for decades, offering a remarkable drinking experience.”
