Lot 340 Details
CHÂTEAU LA MISSION HAUT-BRION 2000

Pessac-Léognan. Grand Cru Classé
1 torn label

One of the wines of the vintage, the 2000 has barely budged in its evolution since it was bottled and released in 2002. After ten years in bottle, it still reveals a dense opaque purple color along with 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 hits full maturity in another one to two decades. Drink: 2020-2050 WA 99+

2 bts.    per lot $1,300 - $1,500

Realised: $2,340
