2000 Château Haut-Bergey
Community Tasting Note
DanielAVTL Likes this wine:
Friday, March 8, 2024 - * Opened 5 hours before serving (no decant).
Seems that many 2000 Bordeaux's are just singing right now, and I've noticed this to be especially true with top-tier Pessac-Leognan.
The 2000 Haut-Bergey is no exception, and surprisingly won the night for me, over a 2005 Branaire Ducru and a 1998 La Gaffeliere.
Color - Garnet, with a slightly lighter rim. Lively, but age is starting to show.
On the nose - Gorgeous notes of wild mushrooms, game, tobacco, espresso and earth, with lovely herbaceous aromas and a hint of leather. Secondary and tertiary notes, with great complexity and expressiveness.
In the mouth - Medium bodied, round, beautifully integrated. Lovely minerality at the core, supporting layers of lush dark fruit and a delicious, complex finish.
A beautiful wine, and it's apogee.
92+ points on the night. Drink now, no point in waiting.
