Château Haut-Bages Libéral Grand Cru Classé

Pauillac, Bordeaux, France (Fifth Growth 1855 Classification)

Varietal(s): 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot

Aged 20% in amphorae with a nose containing aromas of graphite and pencil shavings littered across the black fruit—quite delineated and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins and flavors that echo the aromas. Nicely structured with good persistence on the finish.
