Tasting Notes
Neal Martin 91
The 2021 Haut-Marbuzet has gained some exuberance since I tasted the barrel sample. Today it s very pure and quite seductive, with black cherry and blueberry fruit and hints of vanilla pod emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy, ripe fruit and a fine bead of acidity, but perhaps it just misses a little complexity on the finish. Otherwise, I have no complaints about this Haut-Marbuzet at all.

The 2021 Haut-Marbuzet is another fabulous wine from the Duboscq family. Potent and layered, with terrific precision, Haut-Marbuzet is loaded with personality. Red-fleshed fruit, blood orange, hard candy, mint and rose petal come alive in the glass. The 2021 possesses striking inner sweetness and terrific balance. I loved it.

Tasted blind. Shaded crimson. Oaky, extracted cassis-liqueur nose, which some will like. Very flashy! But a bit drying on the end. (JR)
