Hailing from the prestigious Paulliac appellation of Bordeaux, here is the 2009 vintage. Intense purple red, the nose offers up a heady mix of black and red berries, with floral notes. The palate is powerful and has a good balance between freshness and tannin. The finish is long and voluminous. Here is a vintage with long aging potential. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot.
92 Robert Parker
Probably the finest Haut-Bages Liberal since the 1982, this beautifully rich wine has an inky purple color, a big, sweet kiss of creme de cassis, incense, some background spicy oak and forest floor. Its gorgeous fruit, full-bodied opulence, impressive purity, expansive texture and broad, savory finish make for a terrific wine to drink over the next 25+ years. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.

The 2009 Haut Bages Libéral feels disjointed on the nose with quite punchy graphite aromas coming through, though it needs more cohesion. The palate is medium-bodied with a chewy entry, more red fruit than black, let down by a rather monotone finish. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.
