The 2007 La Mission Haut Brion, a candidate for wine of the vintage, exhibits a dense ruby/purple hue along with notes of melted licorice, blueberries, cassis, burning embers, and charcoal, sweet tannin, medium to full body, a fleshy mouthfeel, and an endearing succulence as well as lushness. Already appealing, it should continue to evolve and drink well for 15+ years. It is a great success for the vintage. Robert Parker

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)

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)!
