Chateau Haut Brion 2000 – 75cl

$1,628.00

The oldest of the Bordeaux classed growths, the inventor of a new style of wine in the seventeenth century, the world’s first luxury brand.. Whenever Chateau Haut-Brion is mentioned, one quickly runs out of superlatives. this wine is the embodiment of five centuries of tradition and plays a pivotal role in the worldwide history of wine.
The initial impression is one of a certain discretion and even restraint the prerogative of any person with self-confidence. at every swirl, you discover new aromas, which build up into great complexity. The terroir is expressed in the wine through s unique signature with an empyreumatic bouquet (Havana cigars, chocolate, roasting, and cedar wood and so on). The attack has the same restraint with precise, exceedingly soft tannins. But the power of this wine is revealed in the surprising long mid-palate and even longer finish. This aromatic persistence is the prerogative of very great origins.

TASTING NOTES

The nose is simply breathtaking - quintessential Haut-Brion with ebullient red berry fruit, roasted herbs, gravel, terracotta tiles on a warm summer's day...it is simply wave after wave of intoxicating scents that could bring even the most stoic person to tears of joy. The palate displays heavenly balance, pitch-perfect acidity, perhaps spicier than previous bottles that I have tasted, and what depth and dimension in this outstanding wine. That hint of graphite on the finish is a cheeky nod to Pauillac, as if to thumb its nose at the First Growths, because alongside Château Latour, almost by stealth, the Haut-Brion is one of the greatest Bordeaux in this millennial year.
