"The 2015 Haut Bages Liberal is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot that is matured in 40% new French oak over a 16-month period. It has a slightly chalky bouquet, tight-knit and conservative, but that is the usual style of this Pauillac cru en barriques. The palate is medium-bodied with solid tannin. This is an edgy Pauillac that is nicely focused, although I would have liked to have seen more substance towards the finish to balance the slightly obdurate tannins. This was one Pauillac cru that feels challenged by the September storms."
