The 2019 Haut-Bages-Libéral has turned out superbly, offering up aromas of wild berries, cassis, licorice, rose petals and sweet soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless palate, its powdery structuring tannins hidden in an ample core of lively, succulent fruit. From biodynamically farmed vineyards located on clay-limestone and gravel soils to the north of Château Latour (as well as a parcel of gravel sandwiched between Pichon-Baron and Lynch-Bages), this is a terrific effort from an estate that deserves to be much better known.
Dark black bramble fruits on the nose with a lovely blackcurrant juiciness - brightness straight away in the mouth, the tannins are supportive, fine and gently gripping and this has a really lovely depth - not too rich or too light, just a very pleasant easy drinkability. You can feel the sculpting of the fruit, firm and muscular, it is well defined and precise but with soft edges and a menthol / liquorice finish common to Pauillac. Power but clarity, cooling flavours and good balance. A great wine.
