Critic Scores, Reviews & Descriptions

96 JS / 95 WCI / 94 WE / 93 DE / 91-93 JD / 92-94 VM

Perfumed dark fruits with toasted spices, crushed walnut shell, savory herbs, graphite and tobacco leaves. Full-bodied. Layers of ripe and chewy tannins that are well-integrated with a velvety and plush core of black fruit. Bold, firm and structured with so much potential. Lingering, chalky finish sits there for minutes. Classic Haut-Marbuzet. Try from 2028. -JamesSuckling.com

Deeply colored, the wine pops with its showy nose of espresso, truffle, smoke, licorice, cocoa, blackberry and black cherries. Medium/full-bodied, with soft, silky, polished textures, lift and multiple layers of ripe, sweet, polished, lusciously-textured fruits that linger. This scored much higher in bottle than it did in barrel as the is close to fully integrated. This is clearly the best vintage ever produced at Haut Marbuzet! Give it a few more years in the cellar and you are going to have a gem in your cellar. Drink from 2025-2045.-Jeff Leve, Wine Cellar Insider

Big and bold with dark tannins, this wine is full, complex and has great aging potential. Its texture, richness and juicy acidity are impressive. Drink from 2027.-Wine Enthusiast

Juicy, well-defined black fruits, a ton of character, well-balanced and loaded with graphite, wet stones, hawthorn, blackberry, earth - this is a really enjoyable wine, a good success in the vintage, and will age. 5% Petit Verdot completes the blend; IPT81. Harvest September 11 to 29. A yield of 30hl/ha. A pick for me in St-Estèphe. 100% new oak. - Jane Anson, Decanter
 
A little gem of a wine, the 2020 Château Haut-Marbuzet boasts a deep purple color as well as medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of cassis, blackcurrants, tobacco, and damp earth. It’s ripe, rounded, and pure on the palate, with wonderful precision and freshness as well as silky tannins. It’s worth seeking out. - Jeb Dunnuck
 
The 2020 Haut-Marbuzet has a more attractive bouquet than the previous two vintage, featuring perfumed black currant, wild hedgerow, blueberry and a touch of India ink – the kind of aromatics that I associate with this property. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Very pure and velvety-smooth toward the finish. This is the best wine I have tasted from Haut-Marbuzet in several years. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media
