Estimate
Generous tannins are already integrating with the rich fruits that come through strongly. The juicy blackberry character to this wine shows concentration.
...offers notable purity as well as medium to full-bodied notes of blackcurrants, dried herbs, flowers, and spice. It’s a layered, seamless wine from this estate that has no hard edges, beautiful balance, and a great finish.
...gorgeous, supple and wonderfully inviting...there is quite a bit of supporting structure that gives the wine its energy and overall shape. Smoke, tobacco, cedar, licorice and leather add aromatic nuance, but it is the wine's textural depth that stands out most.
...comes bursting out of the glass with cassis, redcurrant jelly, fragrant earth and dried Provence herbs scents plus a waft of lavender. Medium to full-bodied, firm, grainy textured and packed with fruit, it delivers a long and mineral-laced finish.
...with berry and tobacco character and hints of walnuts. Medium body, round and juicy tannins and a medium finish.
Polished and open in feel, with a lovely beam of pure plum and raspberry puree flavors inlaid with light tobacco and toasty vanilla notes. Subtle mesquite detail shows on the finish.
This is a second label of Château Haut-Bailly
