Château Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2000
Beautiful color, very deep with a mixing of the Haut-Brion ruby and its purple-violet shade of youth. Swishing the wine around in the glass gives a notionof its density. This complexity is followed up in the aromas that suddenly burst forth all at once: a woody hint of fine polished oak, mulberry jam, cherry pits, a touch of blackcurrant, and the bittersweet of mango. One discovers this complexness again with even more violence in the mouth. The specific notes ofthis vintage: the finesse of mocha, the toasted trace of praline all join with the above, melding together with tannins of great complexity and softness. The finishis never ending... Exceptional bottle. To be drunk today, tomorrow and surely even 100 years from now.

I’ve never been much of a Bordeaux fan but this was a great wine. Tons of complexity and was very pleased it was a clean wine! Got the graphite/pencil lead notes that I was hoping for.

Heck of a hosting by @Weston Eidson last night for the City Club wine group. All wines were tasted blind. Cerebral and spectacular. Best Bordeaux I’ve had. A stunning showing at 19yrs young. I called this early 2000s Bordeaux but actually thought it was Right Bank...there is a gorgeous medley of soft and ripe dark blue and black fruit here. Not juicy, but more floral and expressive. Palate was lifted with fantastic structure and softened tannins (thanks to 4hrs in the decanter). Pipe tobacco but hardly any herbal or leather notes. The softness of this wine is what made it a star. Flavor without being dense. Co WOTN.

3+ hour decant and it was just so velvety smooth. Still young, but what a beautiful wine.

Dark black fruit with aromas of tar to back and leather on the mouth good mid plate lots of acid black fruit. With four hours in the decanter can see it will one day be lovely but needs another ten years

I've never felt the 2000 vintage lived up to its billing and this is a perfect example. Good but not great. At 15 years, it should be more expressive and multidimensional. I'd like to check in five or ten years to see if it progresses from this point. I'm not so sure.
