Haut-Marbuzet St Estephe 1999

Haut-Marbuzet Saint-Estèphe 1999 is a mature Bordeaux from one of the Médoc’s most distinctive estates. Known for its slightly unconventional winemaking style, Haut-Marbuzet combines power and softness, producing wines with rich fruit and silky texture. The 1999 vintage was marked by favourable weather, resulting in ripe, balanced wines with good ageing potential.

Evolved aromas of blackcurrant, leather, cedar, and dried herbs. On the palate, it shows medium to full body with flavours of dark plum, tobacco, and earthy spice, supported by well-integrated tannins and a smooth finish. The wine has softened beautifully, displaying elegant tertiary notes typical of a well-aged Saint-Estèphe.
