JAMES SUCKLING: "Blackberries, some crushed stones and iodine with a sandalwood undertone. It's full and racy with firm tannins."

ROBERT PARKER - THE WINE ADVOCATE: "A blend of 44.7% Merlot and 55.3% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2020 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion has an alcohol of 14.3%. It rolls effortlessly out of the glass with seducing notes of warm black plums, black cherry compote and blackberry pie, plus suggestions of lavender, crushed rocks and underbrush with a hint of sassafras. The medium-bodied palate is delicately played and refreshing, offering lots of soft-spoken black fruit and earthy layers with a soft texture and seamless acidity, finishing with a spicy kick." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine Edelholzwürze, ein Hauch von Lakritze, schwarze Beerenfrucht, Nuancen von Limetten und Zedernholz. Saftig, reife Herzkirschen, zarter Cassis, frisch strukturiert, gut eingebundene Tannine, rotbeerig, mineralischer Nachhall, lebendige Stilistik." - Peter Moser
