400 cases and a few magnums were made

Now that the vineyard and the family's understanding of it have reached maturity

round and caressing flavors possess very good punch while exuding a refreshing salinity on the dusty and palate coating finale

with iodine notes and a lemony

Haut Bages Liberal other_regions 400 cases and a fewThe 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.
