Haut-Bages Liberal Pauillac 2024

The 2024 Haut-Bages Libéral is a classy, polished wine. Silky contours meld around a core of succulent red-toned fruit, white pepper, blood orange and cinnamon. The 2024 is airy and a bit lighter texturally than most vintages, but all the signatures of the property are quite present. Drinking window: 2032-2044. (Antonio Galloni,vinous.com)
