Tasted Wednesday, September 16, 2009 by Goldstone with 355 views
A quiet Wednesday evening dinner mainly to test out Todd's newly acquired 1998 Ch. La Mission Haut Brion.
A great balance of wines over a simple but delicious dinner.

Nice pale gold colour. Tiny, prolific and persistent bubbles with a rich mousse. Nose of Rich Tea biscuits along with a touch of fresh mown grass. Slightly soapy but in a very pleasant way on the palate, very, very soft mouthfeel and a predominance of ripe Pomelo. Very soft, with restrained but perceptible acidity. Good finish with white peaches emerging. Very soft.............like Badoit compared to Perrier.
