CHÂTEAU HAUT BAGES LIBERAL 1995
Pauillac
Black colour, the wine expresses strength. Very concentrated and not totally open despite almost 20 years in the bottle. Very ripe black fruits, a very nice length. Very classic. Leave it a few more years and open it in advance.
Sweet, delicious.
Crushed blackberries and flowers on the nose. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and very good fruit. Just starting to come around. Give it time.
This is a beautiful wine with an evolved personality and low acidity. The wine exhibits abundant quantities of earthy, smoke and tobacco-tinged, black currant fruit, rich, concentrated, medium to full-bodied flavors, and moderate tannin in the long finish. It is successful, but nowhere near full maturity.
