Chateau Haut Bages Liberal Vintage 1989

The name of Château Haut-Bages Liberal has two roots. The Liberal family ran the property in the early eighteenth century. Brokers from father to son, they sold the harvest in the Netherlands and Belgium. Their name adjoining to the topographical designation, earned them to be invited worldwide to the table of political parties of the same name. Over time, these connoisseurs gathered the best soils of Pauillac. Thus, this 5th Classified Growth in 1855 now has half of its vineyards adjacent to Château Latour and the other half behind Château Pichon Baron, on the heights of the locality "Bages", a large plateau in the south of Pauillac.

1989 was a fabulous vintage for the chateau and the region. The middle child of a run of three great vintages.

Typical blend, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot. 75cl bottle. Abv 13%

Bottle Condition, capsule good, label good, wine level in neck.

Label intact but loose. Semi-solid cork; decanted with normal sediment for its age. Med purple, bit of amber edge; secondary (e.g., black tea) but still some primary aromas like overripe blackcurrant, plum that follow on the palate, good mouthfeel. Held well over 90 minutes. Delicious and glad to have a few more. Bdx's trademark experience that's rarely achieved elsewhere.
