JAMES SUCKLING: "Energetic white with sliced-apple, lemon and green-papaya aromas. Full-bodied, very vibrant, creamy, dense and powerful. So contrasty. Love it. Don’t miss this. 66% sauvignon blanc and 33% semillon. Drink or hold."

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "This second wine of whites from both Haut-Brion and La Mission Haut-Brion is both rich and intensely crisp. It has a fine blend between great acidity and grapefruit fruit and a more tropical element. The tangy texture is taut with a mineral edge. Drink from 2020."

WINE SPECTATOR: "This is a gorgeous wine, though it will just take a little while for the toasted macadamia nut and warm brioche notes to meld fully with the core of creamed mirabelle plum, Jonagold apple, lemon chiffon and tangerine. Be patient. Best from 2020 through 2030. 1,083 cases made."

JANCIS ROBINSON: "Tasted blind. Light, rich lanolin nose with some refreshing lime-syrup character. Smoky and a little alcoholic but interesting in a catty way. Could only be from Pessac-Léognan. Broad and emphatic. Slightly chewy end."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Notes of fresh grapefruit, butter and marmalade on the nose leads to a twist of citrus peel and a honeysuckle splash on the palate. Ready yourself for a burst of creamy lemon curd in the finish. The wine was produced from a blend of 58% Semillon and 42% Sauvignon Blanc."
