Served blind at the Southwold 2009 tasting. The Haut-Marbuzet ‘09 has a fragrant, lifted bouquet with blackberry, mulberry and crushed stone. It is slightly understated but very precise. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins, clean fresh red berry fruit, but it is missing complexity on the stubborn, foursquare finish that is atypical for this usually more flamboyant cru.
