93 James Suckling
Aromas of milk chocolate, walnut shell and currants follow through to a full body, with soft, velvety tannins and a chewy finish. Serious depth of fruit here. Better in 2015 but so enticing now
92 Vinous
(13.4% alcohol) Good saturated red-ruby. Deep, ripe, expressive aromas of black raspberry, coffee, mocha, menthol, black olive and chocolate truffle. Sweet, seamless and lush, offering excellent volume in the mouth and considerable early sex appeal. This boasts the exotic character of Haut-Marbuzet in spades. Sweet, long, large-scaled wine with fine-grained tannins arriving very late.

Mittleres Granat-Rubin, feiner Rand aussen. Süsses, cremiges Bouquet, deutliche Kokos-Toastnoten. Im Gaumen fett, rund, burgundisch, helle Schokolade, im Innern recht konzentriert und noch sanft aufrauend, viel Druck im Finale, kann noch zulegen. trinken (2011 - 2025)

Shows intense aromas of blackberry, currant and spices. Full and rich, with a slightly earthy and funky undertone, but I like the decadence and richness. The tannins are polished. Best after 2013. 30,000 cases made. ?JS

Proprietor Henri Duboscq made a delicious, sexy style of St.-Estèphe in 2005. Dark plum/ruby/purple, with notes of smoky oak, espresso, medium body and lots of fruit, it is a relatively lush, heady style of St.-Estèphe that is far more seductive and accessible than most wines of this appellation in 2005. Drink it over the next decade.

Château Haut Marbuzet
Tra le tenute superiori di Saint-Estèphe, Château Haut-Marbuzet è in competizione con gli altrettanto illustri Château Cos d'Estournel e Château Montrose. La famiglia Duboscq possiede e gestisce l'imponente Cru Bourgeois dagli anni '50. Oggi Henri Duboscq e i suoi due figli Bruno e Hughes gestiscono la proprietà di 61 ettari. Con quasi la metà dei lotti a Merlot, questa proporzione elevata accentua il lato carnoso e morbido dei vini di Haut-Marbuzet. L'uva viene raccolta molto matura e il vino viene poi affinato completamente in barrique di rovere per 18 mesi. Il Saint-Estèphe estremamente ricco di Duboscq svela note speziate impeccabili dovute alla maturazione in botte. Il vino più importante, Haut-Marbuzet, è un rosso concentrato, con vivaci note di vaniglia e frutti neri meno accentuati e, come tutti per gli vini della tenuta, ogni bottiglia supera regolarmente molte delle offerte dei più grandi concorrenti dello Château.
