This is an excellent wine from the underrated 2006 vintage produced by Pauillac 5ème Grand Cru Classé estate, Château Haut-Bages Libéral. Composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, it is aromatic, rich in fruit and spicy. Medium-bodied and supple, it offers ample weight and concentration, with wonderfully refined tannins and a pep of bright acidity.

Bright ruby-red. Cool aromas of medicinal cherry and smoke. Concentrated, sweet and firmly built, with good intensity to the flavors of dark berries, chocolate and minerals. Very Pauillac, but at the same time supple for the vintage. Finishes with ripe tannins and good balance and richness. This is less austere than the 2005. (My sample of the young 2007 seemed distinctly greener than this 2006 and rather dry.)Stephen Tanzer1st May 2008
