{"product_id":"chateau-haut-bages-liberal-pauillac-5eme-cru-classe-2021","title":"Château Haut-Bages Libéral, Pauillac 5ème cru classé 2021","description":"The vineyards of Château Haut-Bages Libéral, a biodynamically certified estate next to Château Latour, are partly planted on limestone soil. With their illustrious neighbours, they are the only properties in Pauillac to benefit from this rare commodity.\n\u003cblockquote\u003e‘This is already open and delicious with cherry, cassis, blueberry and chocolate-orange character. Some peach notes, too. Medium to full body with velvety, ripe and plush tannins. Caressing, yet it remains firm and solid. Lovely, creamy finish.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccite\u003e 94-95\/100 (barrel sample) James Suckling\u003c\/cite\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e‘Very aromatic on the nose, this has savoury, fruit and floral tones; liquorice, cola and earth with cranberries, strawberries and black cherries. Dense and quite darkly fruited on the palate but with a brightness from the acidity giving a mouthwatering attack before the flavours deepen and widen in the mouth. So many layers, really showing the Pauillac power: everything presented in high definition with a bold structure even though the individual elements are so precise and defined. It's racy and confident but also complex with a spiced cedar, clove, cinnamon, liquorice and wet stone\/chalky element to the tannins that fill the mouth and don't let go. A lovely wine with lots of potential from Claire Villars-Lurton!’\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccite\u003e\n93\/100 (barrel sample) Decanter\u003c\/cite\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e‘The 2021 Haut-Bages-Libéral has turned out nicely, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cassis, minty berries, pencil shavings and cigar wrapper, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and layered palate that's impressively concentrated, built around a muscular frame of ripe, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully structured finish. It will reward a bit of patience.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccite\u003e\n92+\/100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/cite\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Château Haut-Bages Libéral","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47863348625744,"sku":"BAGLIB21","price":73.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0463\/2438\/3912\/files\/chateau-haut-bages-liberal-pauillac-5eme-cru-classe-2023.jpg?v=1784117250","url":"https:\/\/bubblebrothers.ie\/products\/chateau-haut-bages-liberal-pauillac-5eme-cru-classe-2021","provider":"Bubble Brothers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
