Haut Bages Liberal Vintage:2000 Bollinger's 2009 Millésime Edition LimitéeThe 2010 Haut Bages Libral does not quite convey the same lift on the nose as its peers, not as cohesive. There is a very slight metallic element underneath the black fruit. The palate is medium bodied with firm tannins, good acidity, plenty of tertiary black fruit with a liberal sprinkling of cracked black pepper on the slightly raw finish. Fresh, but I was expecting more from this cru. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10 Year On Bordeaux horizontal.
