Château La Mission Haut-Brion 2000
Grand cru classé de Graves
100/100 Parker
Cellaring : Now - 2050
Parker's 2012 tasting: "One of the wines of the vintage, the 2000 has barely moved in its evolution since its bottling and release in 2002. After ten years in bottle, it still reveals a dense, opaque purple colour as well as a potentially sensational bouquet of blueberries, black currants, graphite, asphalt, and background oak. Extremely powerful, full-bodied, and superbly concentrated, with good acidity and high but round tannins, this massive La Mission-Haut-Brion should take its place among this estate's most hallowed vintages when it reaches full maturity in a decade or two. I was surprised by the youthfulness of this wine at age 12. If I had tasted it blind, I would have estimated it to be four to five years old."
