Deep ruby color. Close to its peak, but still bit closed up. Black fruits, spices and earth. Complex wine with great character. Truly fine and elegant Pomerol wine. Château Haut-Maillet is independently vinified at Château La Cabanne which also belongs to Estager family. It allows this wine to benefit from the latest equipment and technologies of their new vat. Aging In French oak barrels (30% new). 5 ha located on the NE of Pomerol. 79% Merlot and 21% Cabernet Franc vineyard with 21 years old vines. Rating 4,1/5 — 8 years ago

Enjoying one of these is like going back in time. What impressed me the most about this wine is the fact one can appreciate the lower alcohol and lighter use of oak back then. How the wine becomes so subtlety elegant on the palate; all components feel in unison with perfect integration; the finish is slightly velvety and substancial. An experience all in itself, cheers. — 2 months ago
