Tasting note
A terrific effort in a less acclaimed vintage, the 2017 Haut-Marbuzet reveals aromas of sweet cassis, pencil shavings and forest floor, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy palate. With good depth at the core and sweet, powdery structuring tannins, it's a charming, characterful wine that will offer a broad drinking window. Readers might think of it as a modern-day version of the estate's delicious 1999.
The inimitable Henri Duboscq, alongside his sons Hugues and Bruno, presides over this Saint-Estèphe reference point, an estate once owned by the Mac Carthy family that was broken up and subsequently reconstituted piece by piece throughout the 20th century. These are some of the most precocious, early-ripening terroirs of the Médoc, and they are perfectly adapted to the lavish, sensual, gourmand style that Duboscq seeks and which makes his wines so singular. Matured in entirely new barrels, Haut Marbuzet is demonstrative, even flamboyant in its youth; yet its longevity is just as impressive, and vintages such as 1982 and 1990 continue to drink brilliantly today, giving the lie to the notion that their early appeal compromises their ability to age. Recent vintages have been especially integrated and harmonious out of the gates, proving that this estate is producing some of the best wines in its history today. In any revision of the 1855 classification, Haut Marbuzet would be certain to acquire classified growth status.
