The Duboscq family's other Saint-Estephe — same hands, same hedonistic instincts as the cult Haut-Marbuzet next door, at a considerably friendlier entry point. Henri Duboscq bought Tour de Marbuzet in 1981 and has run it as a sister property to the grand vin, which is widely considered cru classe in quality despite its Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel ranking. Tour de Marbuzet itself is ranked Cru Bourgeois Superieur, and the estate is planted 40% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc on deep gravel over clay-limestone subsoil — the Merlot share explaining much of the plushness that makes these wines so easy to like young. 2019 was an excellent, ripe Bordeaux vintage, which suits this generous style down to the ground. Drink it over the next several years with a decant, or give it time; the Duboscq wines tend to age better than their immediate charm suggests.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2019 Haut-Marbuzet is fabulous. In fact, the 2019 is one of the best recent vintages I can remember tasting. There is an energy to the 2019, a feeling of vibrancy, that is compelling. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, mint, chalk and blood orange are lifted by bright acids and veins of tannin that need time to fully integrate. The 2019 is seriously impressive, to say the least." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"The 2019 Haut-Marbuzet has turned out very nicely indeed, offering up a deep bouquet of berry fruit, loamy soil, forest floor and spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with a fleshy core of fruit that's framed by ripe, powdery tannins and succulent acids. Already persuasively seamless and integrated, and much less marked by its new oak than was the case for this château a decade ago, this is well worth seeking out." —William Kelley

Decanter

"Lovely fragranced nose, heady perfumed, full. This has a silky texture, smooth and driven with vibrant energy and a coolness to the fruit profile, blueberries and cherries with some definite liquorice spicing. The overall frame is dense and still knitted down right now. You can feel that this has underlying power but it's still well balanced and integrated at this stage with a lovely freshness. Great potential for ageing."
