Neil Beckett | The Mercurey En Pierrelet is exotic and elegantly sumptuous, and this flagship La Mission even more complete and vibrant. Intense pale to mid-gold. At once intense and restrained to smell, clearly fully ripe, with good harmony, the oak integrating well. A dense, gratifyingly rich texture, voluminous, but there is enough animating, finely pointed acidity at the heart of the wine to keep it fresh and provide a gently burgeoning finish.| 89–90
