Pretty nose of blueberries, currants and blackberries, follows through to a full body, with ultra-refined tannins and polished, caressing texture. Very refined and long. Perhaps the best ever from here. Try after 2018. - James Suckling
Probably the finest Haut-Bages Liberal since the 1982, this beautifully rich wine has an inky purple color, a big, sweet kiss of creme de cassis, incense, some background spicy oak and forest floor. Its gorgeous fruit, full-bodied opulence, impressive purity, expansive texture and broad, savory finish make for a terrific wine to drink over the next 25+ years.-Robert M. Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate
As so often, the wine is foursquare, tough and dark. It has powerful tannins with the weight of fruit well behind at this stage, structure to the front. It needs several years to come into balance.-Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast
Bright crimson. Very energetic lifted nose even if not the densest. Tannins a little soft. The whole impression is a bit flaccid, but it’s solid and has no shortage of ripe fruit.-Jancis Robinson
