2005 Château La Mission Haut-Brion | 750ml

The legendary 2005 vintage of Château La Mission Haut-Brion is widely regarded as one of the château’s greatest modern releases—powerful, dense, and built for generations of aging. A First Growth–level wine in all but name, this masterpiece from Pessac-Léognan captures the estate’s signature combination of smoky minerality, velvety richness, and profound complexity.

In the glass, it opens with layers of blackcurrant, plum, graphite, cigar box, crushed stones, truffle, and warm spice. The palate is seamless and concentrated with perfect structure—ripe tannins, remarkable depth, and a finish that lasts for minutes. Now entering a stunning drinking window with decades still ahead, this is a centerpiece for any serious Bordeaux collection.
