Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

This started out with a little funk of barnyard & earth but soon blew off to show red fruits, cassis, mint , leather, tobacco & sandalwood. Outclassed by the HB in this flight. — 7 years ago

2001 Dominus CS. Boy G at HB w B&K K. Drank this after the '99 Grands Echezeaux. Total gear shift, but unlike the previous wine, this drank as we had hoped. Interesting comp to the '97 Sassicaia, which was our fave of the night. This was super green and I guess we all just favored the flavors of the Italian. — 8 years ago

1990 DRC Richebourg. HB w MnD and J&D B. J said this was his fave of the DRC's and it was drinking beautifully. Such a treat on a warm summer night. Last we drank this was almost a year ago, when we really thought this was spectacular. Tonight was the same- it was drinking perfectly. Beautiful brick color, balanced. We got note of dark fruit, mineral, and lots of forest floor- both earthy and a little funky. Spectacular. — 8 years ago

2007 Peter Michael Point Rouge Chardonnay. HB w MnD and J&D B. We loved this wine wine so much at the Heart concert and we loved it tonight. Floral, along with notes of buttery brioche and oak. However, somewhat surprisingly, as we drank this in comp to the 2013 Ridge Monte Bello Chardonnay, it did not win out. Still such a great wine that we really, really enjoyed. — 8 years ago

Château Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2013

Rob Landsness
9.8

Again, hard to tell by the sample label at the winery but this is the Blanc and it's 66% Sauvignon and 34% semillon. Completely different than la mission HB which is right across the street! A more electric style featuring bright acidity, thanks to the racy Sauvignon. Elegant too. Wow, this is awesome to have both Fat and Fresh! — 10 years ago

1999 DRC Grands Echezeaux. Boy G at HB w B&K K. Tight at first, but hoped it would open up. It did, but unfortunately, that only made the wine slightly better. It is just going through a funky phase. K noted that it wasn't the first time we thought that abt this vintage recently and should hold off until it comes back around. — 8 years ago

Right amount of almond, damp, stones and viscosity to keep most people in the universe very happy. Great minerality and complexity which is really rewarding after holding it in the cellar for 7-8 yrs!!! Nothing better than being rewarded after being patient.
