Description

The 1975 vintage from Château Haut-Bages Libéral is a collector's item, reflecting the historical significance and aging potential of Bordeaux wines.

Tasting Notes
Deep garnet colour, possibly with some brick tones at the rim due to ageing.
On the nose, a complex bouquet with notes of dark fruits (blackcurrant, plum), tobacco, leather, cedar, and earthy tones. Full-bodied on the palate, with well-integrated tannins. The wine most likely has mature flavours of dried fruits, spices, and secondary characteristics such as forest floor and truffle.
Long and persistent finish, with a harmonious blend of fruit and tertiary flavours from extended bottle ageing.

Serving and Food pairing
This mature Bordeaux will require decanting and be best served at 18 celsius. The wine will pair wonderfully with a variety of foods due to its balanced and elegant profile. Serve with grilled steak, lamb chops, roasted game, aged cheeses such as Comté or Gruyère, and mushroom risotto.

Château Haut-Bages Libéral is a notable wine estate located in the Pauillac appellation of the Bordeaux region, classified as a Fifth Growth (Cinquième Cru) in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Here’s a detailed overview of Château Haut-Bages Libéral.

Reviews

"The 1975 Haut-Bages-Liberal has always been a powerful, concentrated, muscular wine. It still possesses an opaque dark ruby/garnet colour, followed by a moderately intense nose of road tar, herbs, cedar, truffles, and black fruit that is somewhat dominated by the more earthy/animal side. Full-bodied, coarse and rustic, revealing exciting levels of extract.. It exhibits plenty of richness, intensity, and personality." Parker, Wine Advocate, 1996

Rating 88/100 (excellent)
