From Pauillac

Vintage:	2020
Description:	97 JS / 96 Vm / 94 We / 17 Jr. #51 James Suckling's Top 100 Wines of France 2023. Blackcurrant, orange peel and green coffee bean aromas follow through to a full body with medium, round tannins. Citrusy, juicy and rose bush finish. Chewy and intense. Some old vine character with bark and dark mushroom. Solid! One for the cellar. 72% cabernet sauvignon and 28% merlot. From biodynamically grown grapes. Demeter certification. Try after 2027. - James Suckling. The 2020 Haut-Bages Libéral is exceptionally beautiful and vivid. Hard candy, kirsch, rose petal, cinnamon and blood orange are some of the many notes that race across the palate. A wine of magnificent purity and silkiness, the Haut-Bages Libéral is simply captivating in its intensity. Bright acids punctuate the articulate, persistent finish. Magnificent. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media. Bold and rich, this wine shows power and structure. But it also has delicious black currant fruitiness to go with the tannins. The wine will age well. Drink from 2027. Organic and biodynamic. - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast. Pure and precise with plenty of energy and drive. Fruit evident on the nose and palate. Sufficient depth on the latter. Firm and minerally behind but the tannins are silky and refined. Pauillac of a caressing nature. This property continues to improve. Should be Gv. - Jancis Robinson
