Haut Bages Liberal other_regions intense and mineral-inflected large-scaled flavors

intense and mineral-inflected large-scaled flavors evidence obvious muscularity as well as excellent length on the very firmly structured and youthfully austere finish

I hesitate to predict

This should age well yet the richness of the material will permit it to drink well young too

Haut Bages Liberal other_regions intense and mineral-inflected large-scaled flavorsThe 2010 Haut Bages Libral does not quite convey the same lift on the nose as its peers, not as cohesive. There is a very slight metallic element underneath the black fruit. The palate is medium bodied with firm tannins, good acidity, plenty of tertiary black fruit with a liberal sprinkling of cracked black pepper on the slightly raw finish. Fresh, but I was expecting more from this cru. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10 Year On Bordeaux horizontal.
