The 2000 La Mission Haut-Brion is certainly a candidate for wine of the vintage.Its performance was off-the-charts in two separate tastings for this report.Deep blue/purple,with a nose of creme de cassis,floral scents,graphite,and subtle smoke,the wine is pure,deep,sumptuously textured,full-bodied,and powerful.This wine transcends its 13% natural alcohol and has the same level of concentration found in such great vintages of La Mission Haut-Brion as 1989,1982,1975 and of course more recent efforts,such as 2005,2008,and 2009.Still young,but beginning to display some secondary nuances,the wine has enormous layers of depth,as well as an unctuous texture.Even though it is still quite youthful,I believe it will hit its prime in 3-4 years and hit its prime in 3-4 years and last for 50 or more.It is certainly a wine that will jump dramatically in price once the 2009 is released.
