4/20/2024 - drmarclevine wrote: 89 pointsDecanted to remove sediment. Opened quickly with a classic Pauillac nose of cassis, cedar, cigar ash, and a pleasing vegetal funk. Not quite as engaging in the mouth, however. Red cherry, sous bois, and charcoal with a bold attack but finishing somewhat thin. Lacked stuffing. Was hoping for more. |

4/10/2024 - EspenK65 Likes this wine: 93 pointsFrom the first moment it gets poured into the glass, you smell the Bordeaux soil, with some touches of leather and spice. The taste is big and fresh, driven by blackcurrant, cherries at first, then the earthy, leathery and spicy flavors take over, with some tannins showing as well. Will probably improve over the next few years, but drinks very nicely now! |

4/4/2024 - Bordeaux_Jon Likes this wine: 95 pointsFrom a 375mL, this half bottle proves again the quality of the 2000 vintage for lesser Grand Crus and Cru Bourgeois. Though I prefer 2001 generally, 2000 is certainly a great and reliable vintage. |

4/2/2024 - La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 94 pointsThe 2016 iteration of Château Haut-Bages Libéral is a deep-to-opaque ruby blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, aged for 16 months in French oak barriques (40% new). Flaunting an intense aromatic array of cassis, Montmorency cherries, lavender, coriander, pencil shavings and cocoa, it is a medium-bodied, freshly acidic red with well-integrated alcohol (13.5%) and flavors that mirror the nose. At this stage, the plentiful tannins are silky-textured, yielding to the oak component that has not yet fully assimilated. Layered in the middle and concluding with a lengthy, mineral-laden finish, this rivals the 2019 as the best version of Haut-Bages Libéral that I have ever tasted. Give it a bit more time in the cellar to allow the oak to meld. Tasted over a three-hour period from a bottle that had been decanted off of its sediment and then Vinturi-decanted, this showed best after the first two hours in carafe. Drink 2026-2046. |

3/31/2024 - Vinnut Likes this wine: 90 pointsMedium reddish garnet in color. Full, forward & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries & cassis with overtones of earthy/dusty & herbal notes, some floral notes, tobacco, minerals & cedar in the background. Medium bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & plums with herbs, minerals, spices & oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but even at 9 years of age, it should continue to develop further with additional aging. |

3/28/2024 - whits wrote: 92 pointsOpens up with scents of cherry and coals, has a soft and elegant feel, picks up some richness with air, flavors hint at crunchy blackberry, cassis, graphite and charred meat, finish just keeps creeping, well balanced, continues to open in the glass, a short decant is reasonable, drinking well |

3/25/2024 - steveiiiiii Likes this wine: 91 pointsMaybe not the most complex of showings, but the 2010 fruit is really driving this with a fresh and clean acidity and mouthfeel that gives this wine a young vibe even though its developed on the nose and shows some tertiary aromas. Drinks now but will develop from here and be better in 5+ years. |

Quite surprised as 2008 didn’t have a great reputation. Certainly enjoyed more than most of the 2009 clarets I’ve had which seem slightly blowsy in comparisons n |

3/4/2024 - Julian Marshall Likes this wine: 92 pointsUnless you only like the riper, more robust type of wines, this is a wine for everybody. The nose, like the palate, leans more towards red fruits than black fruits, which is surprising for a Pauillac but not for HBL. Quite attractive aromas and tastes of red cherry and redcurrant, with some more usual blackcurrant. Medium-bodied, decent acidity, fruity but not OTT, well-balanced and definitely promising. A better version of the 2001. |

On the palate also dark berries and lead pencil, minerals, juicy and beautiful acidity and round tannin with still a firm and lovely bite. Beautiful and complex wine in its young maturity stage. Textbook Pauillac. I love it. 92 – 93 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

2/21/2024 - Rywyine Likes this wine: NRJust testing the waters here. I double decanted this 24 hours before we had it. Opened it up and it was still pretty nervy but approachable with food. Nice seromas of Cassius, a little bit Of dark red fruit. The pallet was a solid medium bodied with pretty persistent cannons. Dark fruit, cocoa, cassis. We got into dinner. It was pretty pleasant to drink, and I enjoyed it as everybody else. |
