VINUM: "Rubinrot und mit deutlichen Röstaromen, kühler Kamin, dunkle Frucht; zugänglicher Gaumen, knackige Frucht, man möchte gleich schlucken, feine Gerbstoffe umgarnen die Frucht, angenehm lang, ausbalanciert, mit Blutorangen und etwas Zartbitterschokolade im Finale."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Florale Nuancen, ein Hauch von Himbeeren, frische rote Herzkirschen, Noten von Orangenzesten. Mittlere Komplexität, Brombeeren, frisch strukturiert, feiner Säurebogen, Kirschen im Abgang, bereits gut entwickelt."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Based on 56.3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29.2% Merlot, and the balance Cabernet Franc, the 2024 La Chapelle De La Mission Haut-Brion is well-made and should be outstanding, with a pure, medium-bodied, elegant, and finesse-driven style. Ripe red and black fruits, leafy tobacco, and some loamy earth notes all shine here, and it has fine tannins, juicy, integrated acidity, and just a charming, satisfying style."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Notes of juicy raspberries and mulberries leap from the glass, leading to hints of forest floor and pencil shavings with a hint of dusty soil. The light to medium-bodied palate is silky and fragrant with great energy and freshness, finishing on a whispery red berry note."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "A blend of 56.3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29.2% Merlot and 14.5% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion is fresh and perfumed, offering up aromas of peonies, dark berries and green bell pepper. Moderately weighted and sappy, it's layered and youthfully introverted, underpinned by somewhat brittle tannins and concluding with a fresh, elegant finish."
