Pauillac de Haut Bages Liberal Vintage:2009 opulently ripe to the edge

opulently ripe to the edge of syrupy

cherry and light grassy aromas and flavors

but could age for decades

Pauillac de Haut Bages Liberal Vintage:2009 opulently ripe to the edgeOne of the best efforts from this estate since the 1982, this wine remains fairly priced. It exhibits ripe blue and black fruits, a dense plum purple color, good acidity buttressing a remarkably rich, fleshy, sumptuous texture, and oodles of smoky black currant and blueberry fruit. Ripe, heady and rich, this wine will probably benefit from 2 5 years of cellaring despite its precociousness and keep for two decades.
