Château Haut-Brion, Blanc--Vintage 2000
Pessac (Graves), cru classé
Tasting note: An outstanding effort for the vintage, although shy when compared to the 2001 or evolved, complex 1999, the 2000 reveals a rich lanolin and honeyed melon bouquet with a hint of fig in the background. Made in a medium-bodied, straightforward style with loads of fruit, glycerin, and smoky wood, but not the nuances, persistence, and depth of the 2001 or 1999, it will can be drunk now and over the next 12 years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 146, April 2003
