  • Robert Parker, February 2009, Score: 89

    A soft, fleshy, up-front styled Pauillac that will provide delicious drinking over the next 10-15 years, the 2006 Haut-Bages Liberal is dark ruby/purple in color and exhibits notes of licorice, roasted herbs, black currants, and plums. It is a sexy, round, silky-textured wine that seems something of an "outlier" in this tannic vintage. Drink: 2009 - 2024

  • Robert Parker, April 2007, Score: 89-91

    A potential sleeper of the vintage, the 2006 Haut-Bages-Liberal exhibits a deep ruby/purple hue, plenty of intense creme de cassis fruit, notions of roasted herbs, underbrush, and licorice, moderate tannins, oodles of sweet fruit, and a layered mouthfeel. It should drink well for 15+ years. Drink: 2007 - 2022

  • Jancis Robinson, May 2007, Score: 17

    Very dark crimson. Lift, even slight volatility, on the nose. Round, wonderful texture what a lot of effort has gone into this. Fully ripe fruit. Quite distinguished. [Couldn't help thinking thismust be Pichon Longueville.] Super glossy the opposite of rustic. Positively slides over the palate. Is there quite enough in the middle? It's certainly very distinguished. Just slightlyhollow in the middle. [Yet again, HBL shows especially well en primeur]

Similar to Lynch Bages, Haut Bages Libéral is also named after the plateau ("bages") on which it sits. Located only a hop, skip and a jump from Latour, their main vineyard area rests on prime Bordeaux soil. Their other two parcels are situated next to Pichon Lalande and Grand Puy Lacoste.

Region

Pauillac

Due south of St Estèphe lies the appellation of Pauillac, the king of Left Bank communes. It is home to three first growths as well as a plethora of other classified growths. Pauillac's renowned well-draining, gravelly soils enable its dominant grape Cabernet Sauvignon to reach fantastic heights of complexity and concentration. As a result, Pauilac's wines tend to be full-bodied with compact tannins and good freshness. Its aromatics are often what one associates with classic Bordeaux: pencil shavings, black currant and occasional mint. Some of the most famous châteaux of the commune are Latour, Mouton Rothschild, Lafite Rothschild, Pichon Baron, Pichon Lalande and Lynch Bages.
