Chateau Haut-Brion

Note:

The 2000 Haut-Brion has the upper hand over La Mission at the moment, and I don`t see that changing. It`s always been one of my favourite wines of the vintage. Blackberry and black olive, copious incense and terracotta notes almost hypnotize the senses. The palate is supremely well-balanced with finely sculpted tannins that frame the black fruit laced with white pepper and graphite. It`s just entering its drinking window but has the substance to last many years. Tasted at the Chateau. NM
