Château Haut-Marbuzet Saint-Estèphe 2016
Bordeaux wine Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel
Very attractive aromas of crushed berries and cinnamon follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a caressing finish. Good red-ruby color. Aromas of plum, berries, chocolate, smoke and herbs. Supple, generous and sweet if without the concentration of a top year. But this is silky and attractive. Finishes with fine tannins

"Very attractive aromas of crushed berries and cinnamon follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a caressing finish. Refined and pretty. Hard not to drink now. Best after 2010." (Mar 2007)
Bettane et Desseauve : 17,5/20
"La fraicheur et la succulence du fruit, la texture veloutée font oublier les aspérités de nombreux vins du millésime dans le secteur."
Robert Parker : 88 points
"A luscious, oaky, richly fruity effort, the 2004 Haut-Marbuzet offers up scents of ripe black currants intermixed with copious toasty, spicy oak. This soft, lush sleeper of the vintage is ideal for drinking over the next 7-8 years." (Jun 2007)
Stephen Tanzer : 88 points
"Good red-ruby color. Aromas of plum, berries, chocolate, smoke and herbs. Supple, generous and sweet if without the concentration of a top year. But this is silky and attractive. Finishes with a fine dusting of tannins and a suggestion of greenness. I’d drink this one in the medium term, say over the next 8 to 12 years. The 2006 may possess somewhat stronger material-and more class." (Jun 2007)

Mouton Rothschild

Mouton comes through again. Impressive ’93, deep in color and full-bodied, boasting plenty of currant, black cherry, mint and toast character. Well crafted, showing depth for this vintage. Give the tannins some time to mellow
