What to Expect

Arguably the most renowned wines on earth, the classed growths of Bordeaux continue to epitomize the power and complexity Bordeaux blends are capable of. While most wines here are based on Cabernet Sauvignon, both Merlot and Cabernet Franc play important roles in adding layered complexity to the finished wines, and allow winemakers in each commune within the region to use the blend that is best suited to their unique combination of soil and meso-climate. The most famous communes each have their own classic traits with St. Estephe giving full, if rustic wines, from the heavy clay soils, to Paulliac's elegant balance of ripe fruits, minerality and structure to St. Julien's rich blackberry core and supple feel. Moving to the South of the region brings one to Margaux, with its notes of flowers and berries draped over a feminine frame, and then to the Graves region with wines redolent of tobacco, gravel and smoke. To the East lies the famous appellations of St. Emillion, with its wonderfully ripe Cabernet Franc, and Pomerol where Merlot rules the roost and produces deep, plush wines of uncommon refinement.

The deep ruby purple-colored 2000's rich, complex perfume displays aromas of cedar, black cherry liqueur, melted licorice, scorched earth, tobacco, and new oak. The wine is rich, firm, tannic, concentrated, and medium to full-bodied with admirable sweetness of fruit. It is a beautiful effort that should be drinkable between 2007-2020.

Decanter

Rating: 4/5 - As reviewed by Decanter Huge colour, difficult to get any darker, meaty extract, much meatier that expected, but also finer on the palate, lots of fruit and weight, a bit 4-square now, but will balance out. A very good example, if a little on the sweet/concentrated side. Ready 2

The 2000 Larrivet-Haut-Brion, a blend of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon (Michel Rolland is the consulting oenologist), is an impressive sleeper of the vintage. A dense opaque purple color is followed by aromas of minerals, spices, black cherries and currants. Complex notes of incense and licorice also emerge. On the palate, the wine is opulent, full-bodied and earthy, with sweet tannin, low acidity, and superb concentration as well as purity. This is a beauty! Anticipated maturity: 2003-2020.
