The nose of the 2005 Château Haut-Marbuzet reveals notes of red fruit and earth. On the palate, it leans towards the lighter side of medium-bodied, showcasing red fruits, particularly cherry, and earthy undertones, complemented by a lovely tannin structure. The acidity is well-balanced, and any oak influence has seamlessly integrated into the overall profile.
92 Vinous
(13.4% alcohol) Good saturated red-ruby. Deep, ripe, expressive aromas of black raspberry, coffee, mocha, menthol, black olive and chocolate truffle. Sweet, seamless and lush, offering excellent volume in the mouth and considerable early sex appeal. This boasts the exotic character of Haut-Marbuzet in spades. Sweet, long, large-scaled wine with fine-grained tannins arriving very late.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2008

Proprietor Henri Duboscq made a delicious, sexy style of St.-Estèphe in 2005. Dark plum/ruby/purple, with notes of smoky oak, espresso, medium body and lots of fruit, it is a relatively lush, heady style of St.-Estèphe that is far more seductive and accessible than most wines of this appellation in 2005. Drink it over the next decade.
16 Jancis Robinson
Sweet, direct and gassy on the nose with more than a hint of woodshavings. Very dry. Some spice element to the fruit but very severe tannins. (JR)
