Expert Reviews
Aromas of rose petals, cranberry, raspberry and a touch of pyrazine. The palate is expressive yet rich, showing bramble and briary fruit, Flor de Madre spiced notes, fresh cassis and a vibrant finish with firm tannins.
The 2016 Haut Bages Liberal has a very focused and much more sumptuous bouquet than in previous years, thankfully without dispensing any of its character. It just seems more confident on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, pretty blackberry and boysenberry fruit laced with a touch of oyster shell, sashaying towards a quite elegant finish with admirable depth. You would not describe this as a potentially exciting Pauillac, but I suspect it will be delicious once in bottle.
