Parker about Château Haut-Bages-Libéral 2001
A rasping cranberry and green pepper nose with liquorice developing in the glass. The palate is full-bodied, a little green but not austere with an attractive peppery, mushroom-tinged finish. Classic in style but very pleasant and crisp. Very fine.

Château Haut-Bages-Libéral 2001

Haut-Bages Libéral 2001 presents itself as an elegant wine from Bordeaux, embodying the typical characteristics of its Pauillac terroir and the particularities of the 2001 vintage.
On the nose, the wine displays aromas of dark berry fruits such as blackcurrant and cassis, accompanied by notes of cedarwood, tobacco, and a hint of graphite. These aromas are well-developed and display a certain complexity.
On the palate, the Haut-Bages Libéral 2001 displays a medium to full body with ripe, well-integrated tannins. The fruit flavors are generous and juicy, supported by balanced acidity that lends the wine freshness. Nuances of dark chocolate and spice add complexity and depth.
The finish is long and lingers with pleasant fruit sweetness and spicy notes. Haut-Bages Libéral 2001 is a wine that is enjoyable to drink now and is at a good stage of development, but also has the potential to evolve further and gain even more complexity in the coming years.
