96 Perhaps one of the more overlooked vintages in recent years, the Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2001 is one of the finest wines of the vintage. Here, one is immediately taken aback by the precision exuded by the nose: small dark cherries and orange blossom still there, perhaps the mineralité more heightened than ever. The palate displays exquisite balance with nigh on perfect acidity, demonstrating more tension, if not the dimension of the 1990 tasted alongside. This is a serious La Mission for long-term aging. Tasted June 2014.

Falstaff December 2005

91 Barrel sample, spring 2002: Deep dark ruby garnet, delicate violet reflections, still very encapsulated on the nose, sloes and cherries on the palate, appears medium-bodied, the tannins are still rough, yet the fruit seems quite ripe, almost jammy, already very well developed for the LMHB, red berry finish, slightly bitter in the finish, revealing the higher acidity. (90–92)
