Description
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.

Tasting note
2000年的戰後酒王 -修道院紅顏容展現了波爾多佩薩克-雷奧良產區的宏偉。酒體呈深紅寶石色，散發著成熟黑果與可可黃油的香氣，伴隨著雪松橡木的氣息。口感上，這款酒呈現出和諧的濃郁風味，結構堅實，單寧明顯且精緻，新鮮的酸度為之增色。皮革和鉛筆芯的風味與豐富的果味相得益彰，酒精的溫暖支撐著悠長的尾韻。經過18至20個月的橡木桶陳年，這款酒展現了其風土的複雜性與魅力。建議醒酒兩小時，以充分體驗其深度與優雅。搭配烤羊肉或烤牛排最為完美，也適合與蘑菇燴飯和陳年乳酪一同享用。
The 2000 Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion is a testament to the grandeur of Bordeaux's Pessac-Leognan appellation. This vintage exudes a deep ruby-red hue, revealing a bouquet of ripe dark fruits interlaced with cocoa-butter and cedary oak. On the palate, it presents a harmonious blend of concentrated flavors, structured by well-defined tannins and lifted by a refreshing acidity. Notes of leather and lead pencil complement the big fruit profile, while the warmth of alcohol supports a lengthy finish. With 18 to 20 months of barrel aging, this wine showcases the complexity and charm of its terroir. Decanting for two hours is recommended to fully appreciate its depth and elegance. Perfectly paired with roasted lamb or grilled steak, it also complements mushroom risotto and aged cheeses.
