Notes

The 2009 Haut Bergey is an absolute beauty. Vibrant and perfumed, the nose instantly entices the taster. Notes of plums, Asian spice, flowers, cedar and graphite merge with an abundance of bright berry fruit. On the palate this has typical 2009 power and generosity. The fruit is lavishly textured and coats the mouth with sweet ripe cassis and mulberry interspersed with notes of liquorice and cinnamon. Although big and impressive, there’s a real sense of control and cohesion to the fruit, which is bound together with beautifully judged tannins. This is a superb value Pessac from a truly great vintage.

Notes

The 2009 Haut-Bergey has a lovely bouquet with raspberry, cranberry, rose petal and light forest floor aromas, opening beautifully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well judged acidity, and smooth in texture although, it lacks some density and grip on the finish. Enjoy now and over the next 6 to 8 years. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.
