A beautiful balance and finesse to this red with blueberry, raspberry and cherry character, a medium body and integrated tannins. Very fine and pretty. Drink or hold.

Tasted twice, there is some lovely floral red berry and cassis fruit on the nose of the Haut Marbuzet. The palate is fresh and vibrant with noticeable acidity and then the finish feels a little “scrunched up” and dray. Known for his fleshiness, I am not sure of the growing season played into the hands of Haut-Marbuzet this year. Tasted April 2013.

With cedar wood, earth and dark berries, this soft, round-textured, medium-bodied wine is forward in style and finishes with soft ripe cherries. 87-89 Pts

Couleur sombre intensité normale. Nez fruité, boisé comme je ne l’avais pas vu depuis longtemps. Bouche ronde, aimable, juteuse tendre, avec du fruit et des tanins enrobés. Longueur moyenne.

Un Haut-Marbuzet joyeux, gourmand, charmeur, digeste, rafraîchissant, harmonieux, avec un nez très expressif, grand fruit, myrtille, pivoine, notes mentholées, une texture charnue, enveloppante, aux tannins soyeux et à la longue finale tonique. Un très joli saint-estèphe.

Some oak and toughness on the nose. Redcurrant fruit but no opulence.

Dense colour and very good concentration of ripe fruit, Merlot and new oak make this seductively approachable, but it will last well. 16.25/20pts ( 87/100pts)
Drink: 2016 - 2024

This is really well done for the vintage with a pretty depth of fruit and quality tannins. Full body, with wonderful integration already of fruit, tannins and acidity, and a long finish. Excellent winemaking.
