Description
Robert Parker: A blend of 52% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, and
5% Cabernet Franc, the sexy, complex, fragrant 2000 La Tour
Haut-Brion is the finest wine made under the ownership of the
Dillon family and their brilliant administrator, Jean-Bernard
Delmas. The vintage yielded fabulous raw materials, the vineyard is
older, and more young vine Merlot is making it into the blend, thus
fattening up what was once a herbaceous, more Cabernet
Sauvignon-dominated wine. The dense purple-colored 2000 boasts a
gorgeously sweet perfume of plums, black currants, tobacco, and a
hint of olives. Sweet, ripe, and medium to full-bodied, with
terrific richness, purity, and copious tannin, this is the finest
La Tour Haut-Brion since the 1982. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020.
