Parker Review:
Composed of 81% Semillon and 19% Sauvignon Blanc, this 2010 exhibits crisp, zesty acids as well as a full-bodied mouthfeel offering lots of lanolin, sealing wax, honeyed Mandarin oranges and lemon oil. This sensational effort has 30-40 years of aging potential.

Other Notes:
A blend of 81% Semillon and 19% Sauvignon Blanc, this has a well-defined bouquet with grapefruit, green lime, white flowers and a touch of lemon curd. Very good definition. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition, a little yeasty on the entry, becoming more citrus driven towards the finish with lemon curd and a hint of vanilla pod. Good length. This is a lovely Laville...sorry...La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc worthy of long-term cellaring. Neal Martin, 94-96 points.
