critic reviews
The 2015 Haut-Bergey has turned out beautifully. Dark cherry, plum, hard candy and mint are all pushed forward. This decidedly succulent Pessac Léognan has gained considerable body, texture and complexity in barrel. Today, it is terrific.
The 2015 Haut Bergey has a sweet, very opulent bouquet with creme de cassis and boysenberry jam aromas, quite precocious but disguising the terroir. The palate is difficult - hard and slightly bitter on the entry with tough tannin (unusually for this vintage), and a slightly disjointed finish. This needs to improve by the time it is in bottle.
