"2001 La Mission Haut Brion opens up with smoke, Cuban cigars, blackberries, hot stones, earth and tar aromas. Supple textures, round tannins and a refined character lead to a rich, silky wine that ends with a long, elegant, deep, smoky dark berry and creme de cassis filled finish. From an assemblage of 62% Merlot , 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc , this Pessac Leognan is just starting to open up and offer its delicious charms."
