Overview

One of the better successes of this overlooked and misunderstood vintage is the 2002 La Mission Haut-Brion, a wine that's really beginning to drink well. Offering up a deep bouquet of cassis, burning embers and cigar ash, it's medium to full-bodied, with a sweet core of fruit and a rich chassis of tannin. Served blind, after a decant of a couple of hours to flesh out, it tends to pass for a more reputed vintage; it's only held back by a slight lack of mid-palate density to balance its structure and the fact that it tastes about a decade older than a top vintage for this address such as 1998.

(83% semillon and 17% sauvignon, nearly exactly the opposite blend as the 2002 Haut-Brion Blanc) Pale yellow color. Reticent but nuanced aromas of lemon, apricot, wet stone, flowers, mint and resiny, oily high tones; seemed to go into a shell in the glass. Tightly wound, minerally and citric; distinctly clenched owing to its firm spine of acidity. Youthfully tough today, perhaps due to its combination of high acidity and high alcohol (13.8%), but long on the finish. By Stephen Tanzer May 2003
