The 2004 La Mission Haut-Brion has a lovely nose with blackberry, scorched earth, sage and light truffle scents, with a touch of antique mahogany bureau. There's fine delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied with "thick" tannins that exert a fine grip. The 2004 is spicy with black pepper and light truffle notes. There's just a little austerity on the finish, but it complements this La Mission rather than detracts. Very fine, though much more austere than the Haut-Brion.

Tasted at Bordeaux Index annual 10-year on tasting from an ex-château bottle. There is a touch of brett on the otherwise attractive bouquet of the La Mission Haut-Brion 2004, more floral in style compared to its Graves peers with raspberry, sandalwood and cedar scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip on the entry. This is nicely balanced with soft red berry fruit, segueing into a tertiary, tobacco-driven finish that suggests this is maturing nicely. Mellow and harmonious, this La Mission is still in a rather dumb phase but it will eventually break through on the other side. Tasted March 2014.

While La Mission Haut-Brion’s 2004 is not one of this estate’s top successes, it is an outstanding wine, no doubt because of this extraordinary terroir. Deep ruby/purple with notes of lead pencil shavings intermixed with black cherries, cassis, and a hint of scorched earth, medium body, sweet tannin, and a good, but uninspiring finish, this attractive, mid-weight La Mission should age nicely for 15 or more years.

Deep red-ruby. Bright aromas of dark fruits, licorice, rocks and leather, lifted by a light peppery nuance. Dense and broad, with a creamy, seamless mid-palate texture and a restrained sweetness. Finishes with fine, broad tannins and noteworthy persistence. With its very fresh style, this comes across as a bit more delineated today than the 2005 Haut-Brion. An excellent showing.

Aromas of fruit and spices, with black pepper and cumin and undertones of forest floor. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit, a silky texture and a medium-to-long finish. Best after 2011. 7,500 cases made.

The deep ruby/purple color of the 2004 La Mission Haut-Brion is accompanied by meaty scents interwoven with hints of wet gravel, smoke, black raspberries, and cassis. This elegant, streamlined effort possesses crisp acidity and medium body. It should be approachable in 2-4 years, and last for 12-15.

Intense aromas of plums, blackberries and light earth. Foresty. Full-bodied, with good tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Silky, with good lenght.
