The 2001 Haut Bages Libéral has a comparatively light bouquet, scents of black cherries, balsamic, undergrowth and star anise gaining depth with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a distinctly peppery opening, and not amazingly complex yet still fresh. Licorice notes furnish the finish, and white truffle lingers on the aftertaste, which Clare Lurton attributes to the clay soils. Fine.

Pretty dark crimson. Warm, ripe and sweet but without much definition. Just a bit simple and earth-bound. (JR)

Very very deep colour with an autumnal mulch smell. Lively green flavours on the palate. Unusually high acidity but competently made. (JR)
