95 Points from Decanter saying: "Beautiful nose of blackberries, black cherries, cloves, black pepper, and a little dark chocolate. The wine has a compelling intensity of bramble fruits on the palate, energetic, and mouth filling, with elegance and finesse. Juicy, long finish."
background: Château Haut de la Bécade is a family-owned estate that has been making wine for several generations. Pauillac is a special appellation in the Haut-Medoc region of Bordeaux that makes highly sought after wines because of their balance, finesse, and the ability to age gracefully. The estate has been owned by the Rainaud family since 1933 and is located next to the most famous Chateaux in Pauillac including Chateau Lynch Bages, Pichon Baron, and Pichon Lalande de Comtesse.
Displays classic Pauillac aromas of lovely cassis and gravelly stone. Dark violet in color expressing a youthful hue. The medium acidity reflects its ability to continue to age with a backbone. This medium to full-bodied wine shows good clay and mineral-granite character along the length of the palate; while being encased in red currant and violet essence. This wine will continue to get better over the next 10 years. It was awarded the Gold Medal in the Challenge International du Vin!
