Wine Advocate #146 (4/2003) Rating: 89 points Drink: 2005 - 2018
One of the best examples I have recently tasted from this estate, the saturated blue/purple Haut-Bages Liberal offers up notes of incense, licorice, pepper, and cassis. In the mouth, it is fat, juicy, with a certain succulence, low acidity, and ripe tannin. This may be the best wine produced by this estate in many a year. In spite of its precocious showing in my tastings, the wine actually needs 2-3 years of cellaring. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2003) Score: 92
Lots of currant and berry aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, with compacted fruit and a silky tannin structure. Best of Haut-Bages-Libéral ever. Best after 2009. 10,000 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating：
Lovely blackcurrant fruit, creamy oak in background, very fine. Tremendous purity of flavours, grainy tannins, lovely balance, well proportioned. Drink 10+ years. |
