2009 Haut Marbuzet

Tasting notes
The 2009 Haut-Marbuzet offers vivacious crushed strawberry, cranberry and freshly tilled soil aromas. This Haut-Marbuzet is full of vim and vigor after a decade. The palate is very well balanced with sappy red berry fruit, veins of blueberry with well integrated oak that lends a smooth sheen towards the finish. This is a lovely 2009 that should offer another 15 to 20 years of pleasure. Excellent. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.

Tasted blind. Particularly deep, evolved colour. Blackish ruby. Rather beautiful, mature nose. And then still quite a bit of tannin on the palate. You could drink this with food but you’d be well advised to wait – even though it’s softer than most. (JR)
Slightly simple Cabernet fruit on the nose. Easy round ripe fruit without that much structure. Respectable and serviceable. (JR)
