I’m in the 91+ territory here, but this is an older NV and the age pushes this up just a touch.
From 375. Easy for my wife and I to enjoy while our two littles run around on NYE.
After the Mousse Fils L’Or d’Eugene rosé from a few days ago, this is totally different. Much more classical versus the unique Mousse. Pale copper colored in the glass. Lots of similarities to Charles Heidsieck’s Brut Reserve rosé with its strawberry shortbread and toasty layers, but the fruit isn’t as layered. Slightly chalk/limestone initially but gives way to Spiced rhubarb, red berries, white peach and an orange marmalade finish (maybe dosage peeking out as well as the age helping channel some depth and richness). — 8 months ago
suggestions of lemon cream and green apples sitting quietly behind its articulate, but never-heavy autolysis. slightly chalky, slightly citrusy, slightly austere — 3 months ago

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)! — a year ago
The color is golden with emerald reflections and particularly fine bubbles. The nose is fresh, with a hint of menthol spicing up the fruity aromas of pink grapefruit and frangipane. The attack is clear and fresh with a touch of lemon. On the mid-palate, the wine evokes a range of gourmet aromas: apples baked in salted butter, tarte tatin, candied ginger… This subtle complexity is enhanced by a spicy touch of candied ginger and star anise. The long, tonic and mineral finish evokes fresh pineapples with a touch of citrus. — a month ago
