Château Haut-Bages Liberal keeps great company in the Bordeaux appellation of Pauillac: 3 of the 5 premier cru châteaux of Bordeaux are neighbours: Latour, Lafite Rothschild and Mouton Rothschild.
The wines of Pauillac are often considered the quintessence of Bordeaux wines and this 2012 vintage is a classic with a complex nose of cassis, smoke and cedar. There is sumptuous fruit in the mouth with additional slightly spicy touch. The wine is expressive, sensual, with fine tannins, freshness and a lingering aroma.
