Tasting note

1996 年的奧巴酒莊紅酒展現了波爾多的經典風味。深邃的寶石紅色，散發出成熟的黑加侖、煙草、黑櫻桃和泥土的香氣。入口豐富圓潤，結構平衡，帶有適度的橡木味。餘韻中帶有堅實的單寧，建議稍加陳年以提升其複雜度。這款酒非常適合搭配烤羊排、烤牛肉、成熟的奶酪和野生蘑菇。

The 1996 Chateau Haut-Bages Liberal is a classic Pauillac wine that showcases the best of Bordeaux. With a deep ruby/purple color, this wine opens with enticing aromas of ripe cassis, smoke, tobacco, and black cherry, complemented by earthy undertones. On the palate, it is rich, round, and flavorful, with a balanced structure and moderate oak influence. The finish is marked by firm tannins, suggesting that a bit of cellaring will further enhance its complexity. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops, roast beef, mature cheeses, and wild mushrooms.

Winery

奧巴酒莊的名字有兩個來源。LIBERAL 家族在十八世紀初經營這個莊園。父子相傳的經紀人，他們將收成賣到荷蘭和比利時。他們的名字與地理名稱相連，使他們被邀請到世界各地的同名政黨的餐桌上。隨著時間的推移，這些鑑賞家聚集了波雅克最好的土壤。因此，這個在 1855 年被評為第五級的酒莊，現在有一半的葡萄園毗鄰拉圖酒莊，另一半位於皮雄男爵酒莊後面的“巴吉斯”高地，這是一個位於波雅克南部的大高原。

The name of Château Haut-Bages Liberal has two roots. The LIBERAL family ran the property in the early eighteenth century. Brokers from father to son, they sold the harvest in the Netherlands and Belgium. Their name adjoining to the topographical designation, earned them to be invited worldwide to the table of political parties of the same name. Over time, these connoisseurs gathered the best soils of Pauillac. Thus, this 5th Classified Growth in 1855 now has half of its vineyards adjacent to Château Latour and the other half behind Château Pichon Baron, on the heights of the locality 'Bages', a large plateau in the south of Pauillac.
