Cht Haut Marbuzet 2009 75Cl

50% Cabernet Sauvignon / 40% Merlot / 5% Cabernet Franc / 5% Petit Verdot

The color is an intense garnet with a beautiful brilliance.

The nose is initially leathery with a backbone of candied black fruits that eventually takes over. There are also notes of spices such as cinnamon and star anise.

The palate is opulent, powerful, and very aromatic. A great Bordeaux in all its splendor. Notes of black fruits, black pepper, and then spices. The tannic structure is impressive and suggests an absolutely magnificent wine in a few years.

A good bet for the future, sublime in its intensity today, probably magnificent by the end of the decade.
