Fresh mixed citrus, passionfruit, starfruits, grapefruit. The 2010 La Mission Haut Brion Blanc has exotic notes of citrus, grapefruit, passion fruit and star fruit, with great depth of flavour and lifted fruit that carries through in the finish. There is depth from barrel fermentation and a hint of very well integrated oak. This wine is very vibrant and while it lacks the density and power of the Haut Brion Blanc, this wine is more about precision and detail. The high Sauvignon Blanc component will likely rise in the future since replantings are increasing the proportion of Sauvignon Blanc.by jeannie cho lee in 2011
