Chocolate-covered raspberries, smoke, coffee and cherry are on display in this open, forward and round wine. This will drink well on release. From a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. 88-89 Pts

Way too young to drink. Massive tannins. This should be a good wine in about 5 years. Good potential.

Decanted from a 375ml, removing some light sediment.

Tasted after a few minutes and there were moderate+ tannins, moderate+ acidity and not much fruit. I then poured it backwards and forwards between two glasses several times and left for another 30 minutes.

This caused the acidity to moderate a lot, the dark fruits emerged, and the moderate+ tannins remain. It is then a very drinkable wine for those that like dark tanniny claret. And the balance improved even more over the next hour.

But clearly it should get better with a few more years. If you must drink it now then give is a LOT of air.

It seems that this will be decent QPR at US$23/750ml if you can keep it for a few years.

Pop and pour. Agree with MIKE410's description five years ago. This wine is now ready to drink.

Perfect provenance.

This magnum format showed the "l'Effet Magnum" to perfection. The fruit was very much present throughout the course of 5 hours. Great notes of wet leather, tobacco leaves and humidor stormed out the glass with delicious notes of raspberry and dark fruit and spices.

Delicious wine with perfect maturity. Drink now over the next 3-5 years.

Silky, polished textures with smoky, ripe fruits, vanilla and espresso bean notes, with an open, inviting personality are found in this wine. 89-91 Pts

Weak nose, with modest hints of olives. Extremely light and definitely not tasting like a Bordeaux. Might need some age, but took a chance on this one and it didn't work out....

The espresso bean, truffle and cherry tones in the nose are followed by a medium bodied, soft, forward wine with a kiss of smoke, oak and black cherries in the finish that can be enjoyed in its youth.

2 bottles tasted. This is an overextracted, out of balance Graves. This Chateau is trying to do too much with low quality fruit and questionable terroir.

Deep crimson in the glass, on the nose it shows concentrated notes of black fruits, coffee been, chocolate, green bell pepper, and vanilla, medium (+) intensity on the nose. On the palate it's full bodied, showing same notes as on the nose, with a lot of sweetness and vanilla in the finish. Medium tannins and acidity. Moderate lenght. An easy drinking style that will please a broad audience without being inspiring, drink now or over the next 5-6 years.

The previous reviews on this wine confuse me as not sure we are drinking the same wine, our bottle had a beautiful nose with a bit of funk, the wine was medium bodied with good balance, the tannins gave it a slight edgy taste, good fruit, nice color, my wife and I like wines that are not fruit bombs with high alcohol content, maybe the low alcohol content of this wine has something to do with the mixed reviews , oh well, drank with steak and will definitely drink more of this wine as it is a great value.

Drank in the Caymans,good balance wine, lacking a bit of acid that could make it more exciting, nice fruit, good color, drank with hamburgers, drank with an 09 Gloria which was brighter and livelier. Will drink again, not sure how well this wine will age but it is a good value at the moment.

Got this for $22.99. It is 70% cabernet and 30% merlot. What is so impressive is how representative it is of that region. It immediately screams out "Pessac" from the glass shortly after uncorking. It is the Barde-Haut of Graves. Balanced, "pure." 12.5%!!!! I mean, hallelujah, 12.5%!!! How often do you see that? Tobacco, gravel, leaves, earth… The whole dusty Graves nine yards. I've really warmed to these 2012s. La Fleur de Bouard, Barde-Haut, Corbin, and now Haut-Bergey…. Very classy wines, at very reasonable $20-something prices. All of them will age 10-15 more years. I give this 2012 Haut-Bergey a solid 92 points.

Smooth with subtle red fruit. Smooth within 30 minutes of decant time. Maybe wait a little on this one...good, but seems a little age will do well

Didn't take formal notes. Decanted for 2 hours and paired with grilled NY strips. Nice balanced Bordeaux with dark fruit / tobacco / gravelly flavor profile. Will buy more. 91+/-

A great QPR and Pessac for BDX lovers. Still young but showing a nose of raspberry, garden herb and hints mineral and stone. Palate contains mainly green, metallic notes, stone, gravel, and touches of hard berry. Very rustic and old world as expected. Still youthful.

Aromas of dark fruit, bbq smoke and earth. The palate matches - black cherries, black currant, earth, a hint of meat/smoke with firm tannins and medium acidity. Drinkable now with a bit of air but I think this will get better with a bit more time and then drink well for a while.

Not bad despite a lot of concerns about 2012 vintage. However, it is definitely not as good as other vintages J have had from this winery including 2008 which I thought was great wine. Fairly thin for a bordeaux blend. Recommend at least 30 minutes decanting or at least pour in glass before drinking. Some improvement with age likely but dont see it ever being one of their better wines. Thus being sold in low $20's which is fair value and overall good weekday wine

Nice drinking at this early stage, not too complex wine with some hints of fruit. Will hopefully improve with some additional cellaring time.
