Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion 2008 Pessac-Leognan
骨格の確かさが、開花を約束する。
ペサック・レオニャンの特性を見事に表現した2008年です。深みのあるルビー色のグラスに注ぐと、ブラックチェリーやブラックベリーの豊かな果実香が立ち上がり、スパイスやほのかなトースト香が複雑さを添えます。口に含むと滑らかなタンニンとともに確かな骨格が感じられ、フルボディで力強い味わいが広がります。果実の甘みと酸の調和が長い余韻へ。仔牛のローストや鴨の胸肉のロースト、熟成チーズとともに。
Tasting note
A wonderful wine that perfectly expresses the characteristics of Pessac-Léognan. It emits a deep ruby color, and when poured into a glass, it releases rich fruity aromas of black cherry and blackberry, with spices and a hint of toast adding complexity. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the smooth tannins, firm structure, and a full-bodied, powerful flavor. The sweetness and acidity of the fruit are perfectly balanced, resulting in a long finish. As time passes, the wine gains more depth and shows a mellow and refined balance, so you can expect even more wonderful flowering after several years of aging.

A wine of complexity and elegance. The aroma of ripe blackberries and violets spreads, and over time, nuances of tobacco, cedar, and graphite appear. The long finish created by the powerful structure and supple tannins speaks of the potential for deep aging.
