For me, Haut-Brion stands a few notches above La Mission in this vintage. It's a wine which is almost impossible to spit forwards rather than backwards! The entire palate climbs upwards, with a mineral kick and slatey walls. This is the most complex wine that I have tasted so far, showing layers of cassis, rosemary and freshly picked mint - utterly gorgeous, and another wine of the vintage contender.
