The 2007 La Mission Haut-Brion is one of the great successes of a vintage given the cold shoulder by consumers on initial release. It has an ebullient bouquet of vivid dark berry, warm gravel and undergrowth scents that are complex and beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, crisp acidity, a precise structure and superb tension on the finish. (Neal Martin, Vinous, September 2021)

Reticent. Dormant. Lots of mineral structure and earthy complexity. Youthful colour and tenacity on the palate. This lovely wine, which could use some joie-de-vivre, is full of class. Yet slightly hesitant to show it.

No formal notes . Slightly lighter than the others , but still ruby , touch of garnet at the rim. Spicer and rounder red and dark fruits . Finer and more mineral more elegant on the palate . Quite elegant . Refined and elegant , mineral , good balance and acidity . This came across as lighter than the others , though with no lack of definition . Mineral , grafite tinged finish . Showing well this is probably going to have a slightly shorter life than the others , but is great for medium term drinking , over next 5-10 years perhaps .

Tivemos Safras 1973, 1976, 1986, 1993, 1995, 2004, 2007, 2008 e 2013. Abrimos com um delicioso Champagne Gosset Grand Millésime 2015. Foi uma bela experiência! La Mission Haut Brion é um Clássico! Interessante o painel de 1973 a 2013 analisando como eram feitos há 50 anos (bem classudos e estruturados) e de 10 anos pra cá, (mais frutados, "leves" e que já não precisam de muitos anos de guarda)!
