Merchant's description

This is an excellent wine from the underrated 2006 vintage produced by Pauillac 5ème Grand Cru Classé estate, Château Haut-Bages Libéral. Composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, it is aromatic, rich in fruit and spicy. Medium-bodied and supple, it offers ample weight and concentration, with wonderfully refined tannins and a pep of bright acidity.
