Château Haut-Bages Libéral Grand Cru Classé Pauillac

This is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot aged in oak for 16 months in 40% new barrels. On the nose it shows red and black berries with a fresh minty touch. The grapes received the warmest summer in ten years meaning great ripeness of fruit on this silky and full palate. A cooler autumn maintained aromatic intensity of this deep and dense wine.
