ready-improve2010 Ch. Haut-Bages Libéral, Pauillac

The 2010 Haut-Bages Libéral wine has a beautiful, perfumed nose of ripe red fruits with a stunning texture of ultra fine tannins. It is a totally harmonious balance of highly polished, but not pushed, summer berries, with a real feel of Pauillac sophistication and a soaring finish. Although its direct neighbours are the fabled Ch. Pichon-Lalande and Ch Latour, the delightful Claire Villars will keep her feet on the terroir and price this so we can all afford it. A terrific wine.
