Château Haut-Marbuzet 2025

“The 2025 Haut-Marbuzet showed a bit of reduction on the nose, perhaps less flamboyant than in previous years, stricter yet still well defined. The palate is medium-bodied, with pliant tannins, attractive peppered black fruit, succinctly controlled, with a lightly peppered and quite sustained finish. Excellent, classy, more-ish. Drinking window: 2032-2052.” (Neal Martin,vinous.com)
