Château Haut-Bergey Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2009
One of the best over-achieving, value-priced wines in Pessac-Leognan, Haut-Bergey's vineyard enjoys a superb location near Malartic-Lagraviere and Domaine de Chevalier. Composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest primarily Cabernet Franc and a dollop of Petit Verdot, the opaque purple-hued 2009 reveals a big, exuberant nose of charcoal, black currants, sweet cherries, and graphite. Dense and full-bodied, with beautiful purity, texture, and length, it should drink well for 20+ years. (Tasted two times.) P.S. I also tasted the brilliant 2000 Haut-Bergey in March, 2010, and it was still a youngster in terms of its development. Drink 2010-2030. Robert Parker

2009 Vintage. This wine has aged well. A touch of leather, spice and fading fruit. Nice wine for a $39 price years ago. Great with prime rib eye. Very enjoyable.

This is a surprising good wine for the price. Excellent with a pasta, Romano and pachetta cream sauce. Would not have normally tried this wine with this dish but it works die to the fruit and bit of age on the finish. Nice.

A bit stemmy, lacking fruit. Bit austere on back end.

Okay. It’s a mess. Luckily, the wine is good. Very good. Soothing, comforting, trustworthy. Classic veins in this wine from that highly rated warmer vintage. Well-balanced. Yum.

Perfectly mature. Soft pruney fruit, gingerbread spice, mellow chocolatey tannines. Dashes of oak, mocha and smoke, as well. Not overly complex, nor complicated. A fun wine. Very good QPR.

Opened 4 years after the first bottle. The change is unbelievable and it rememberd me why I bought it. Drunked on a lazy sunday afternoon with no food pairing.
