The 2022 La Mission Haut-Brion is a total stunner, just as it was en primeur. An archetype of nesse. Dark and explosive, with no hard edges, the 2022 is captivating right out of the gate. Vibrant red fruit, blood orange, new leather and exotic spice notes are all beautifully alive in the glass. The 2022 is seamless and resonant, with magnicent balance and tons of pure class. I would be thrilled to own it. In a word: dazzling.
