E&M amuse bouche. A tease of what these guys can do, in the right ratios, just cheaper, uncomplex a little wilder, with little nuances and plenty of expression.

Feral and vinegary for a second, then a fresh basket of cherries, citrus accents, and forest floor, creeping vegetation.

Perfect at $20. — 2 years ago

Beautiful wine, I could drink this all day. Enough acidicity to pear nicely with our amuse bouche and acidic starter. — 2 years ago

Wonderful nose of spicey oak and intense minerality. Saline. Rock quarry vibes. Lemon pith lemon flesh with hints of sugar. So complex and appealing. Hint of butter and loads of salinity. Nose is just a wonderful perfume. 9.6 nose. Showing so well. Palate is juicy and tensile with a killer rich texture and ample freshness. Chewy and rocky with great finesse and some green apple fruit. Lacey, juicy and slippery. Amazing purity and balance here and almost finished with some dry tannins. Just awesome. Like a white burgundy liquid drop amuse bouche. — 3 years ago

Vintage 2014 | development in colour, true to type Chardonnay smell, fat in taste (barrelaging) and high in bitters. Perfect with a mackerel amuse, good with the halibut. — a year ago

The 1955 La Mission Haut-Brion is not only one of the best vintages ever made at the estate, but also represents one of the top five Bordeaux wines of the 20th century. This was my fourth bottle and to give it a perfect score was easy. Clear in color, it sports a bouquet that is unbelievably intense and yet refined, delivering a kaleidoscope of aromas: black fruit, crushed rock, freshly rolled tobacco and shaved black truffles (but not the aniseed note I noticed in previous examples). The palate is exquisitely poised, brimming over with tension and energy undimmed by the passing years, and symmetrical on the finish. Hints of blood orange linger tantalizingly on the aftertaste. You almost laugh at the unequivocal perfection. Tasted at the La Mission Haut-Brion dinner at Amuse Bouche in Hong Kong. (Neal Martin, Vinous, September 2021)
