Tasting notes
The 2019 Haura has meliorated on the nose, turning fresher and demonstrating fine delineation to the scents of red cherry, crushed strawberry and rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, good depth and freshness, and a nicely composed, pencil-lead-infused finish. I raise my score accordingly.

The 2019 Haura is an attractive wine to drink now and over the next few years. Crushed raspberry, gravel, black pepper and blood orange give the 2019 quite a bit of aromatic nuance. This light to medium-bodied Graves is tasty, if a bit straightforward.
Full bottle just 1,255 g. Another Dubourdieu property. Glowing garnet. Very light, rather unfocused nose but very ripe palate with lots to enjoy. Then fairly light tannins that are still slightly rustic on the end. Fine but just a little basic. (JR)
Another quality name to look out for in the Graves appellation, care of Jean-Jacques Dubourdieu, with personality and a carefully-placed core of black fruits. A little austere on the finish still, give it another year or so, but plenty of promise.
