Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 2000
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Offered in original wooden case
Tasting note: Its bigger sister, the 2000 Haut-Brion (a blend of 51 Merlot, 43 Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc) showed incredibly at the tasting, and for me is one of the three or four most prodigious wines of the vintage. A compelling nose of roasted herbs, scorched earth, sweet blueberries, plums, black currants, and a hint of graphite is followed by a deep, layered, sumptuously textured, full-bodied Haut-Brion, but one with extraordinary complexity. This wine seems more evolved and approachable than I had expected it to be at age 10. 99 points. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 189 (Jun 2010)
