Chateau Haut-Brion 2000

An iconic First Growth Bordeaux from an exceptional vintage, offering remarkable depth and elegance. Concentrated layers of blackcurrant, plum, graphite, cedar, tobacco, and earthy spice are framed by refined tannins and a long, complex finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with beef tenderloin, rack of lamb, venison, truffle dishes, and aged hard cheeses.

99 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Tasted from an ex-château bottle, this wine delivers breathtaking aromatics of red berry fruit, roasted herbs, gravel, and terracotta. The palate is impeccably balanced with outstanding depth, vibrant acidity, layered complexity, and a long graphite-tinged finish. Drink 2020–2060.

96 Points - Wine Enthusiast

For an Haut-Brion, this is huge. Every characteristic suggests power, from the dark color through the knock-out perfumes full of dark, brooding fruits. The flavors are black, intense and ripe. It is a delicious wine, surprisingly ready to drink, with a hint of the delicacy and elegance that is true Haut-Brion.

95 Points - James Suckling

This 2000 starts with aromas of citrus fruit, currants, flowers, and fresh mushrooms. The palate leads off full and rich, with round tannins and a dusty texture. Plenty of fruit and sliced mushrooms on the palate, but it is still tight. Pull the cork after 2010.
