Château Haut-Marbuzet 2024

On the nose, perfumed with a hint of cola and ripe raspberries; creamy attack, light to medium body, the tannins are somewhat overly dominant relative to the fruit; short, red-fruited finish.

Creamy, red pit fruits, strawberries, espresso, mocha, licorice, and smoky nuances deliver their essence effortlessly. Medium-bodied, soft, and supple, this will be just great with a year or two of age. Drink from 2027-2038. 90-92 pts

Deep ruby in the glass, this wine impresses with juicy cassis, dark plum, and citrus zest. The palate is concentrated and fresh, with polished power and a touch of austerity that promises good evolution. A finely constructed classic wine with depth and vibrancy. 5% of Petit Verdot completes the blend.
