VertdeVin
The nose is elegant, racy and offers power (in finesse), richness/a small franc side (full of elegance) and deepness. It reveals notes of fleshy Boysen berry, crushed cassis, small notes of violet associated with touches of small crushed berries, crushed blueberry as well as fine hints of nutmeg, sweet spices, a very discreet hint of fig and an imperceptible almost balsamic hint. The palate is fruity, beautifully squared and offers juiciness, minerality, a certain freshness as well as a beautiful tension and a fine acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/fresh blackberry, small notes of dry cassis associated with touches of juicy/fresh blueberry, fresh raspberry as well as hints of violet, lilac, very fine hints of mushroom/ceps, cardamom and an imperceptible hint of coffee (in the background). Good length. Tannins are structuring and well-built. A fine bitterness on the persistence. A very beautiful wine!
Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
Stunning in every sense of the word. From start to finish, this is a complete tasting experience. The wine opens with a complex array of scents, tobacco leaf, cherries, currants, cigar box, smoke, cedar, plums, and forest floor. Full-bodied, concentrated, and still holding on to its fresh-faced youth, there is a beautiful sense of purity and symmetry on the palate that carries all the way through to the finish. Drink from 2025-2055.

Deep plum/purple, Haut-Bailly’s 2010 required some coaxing to appreciate its subtle notes of barbecue smoke, lead pencil shavings and creme de cassis as well as its touches of pomegranate and forest floor. The oak is pushed far into the background and the tannins are extremely silky, but the intensity of the wine is profound and the finish lingers for close to 55 seconds. This wine is ripe yet delicate, powerful yet stylish, and essentially resembles a remarkable fashion design from a house of haute couture. This wine needs a good 7-8 years of bottle age and should keep for 40-50+ years.
This quintessential example of pure finesse, elegance, harmony and delicacy is combined into a wine that lingers intensely with near-perfect poise and character. Haut-Bailly’s ethereal character is virtually unmatched in Bordeaux. Normally, general manager/winemaker Veronique Sanders fashions a blend that approximates 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc. That was the exact blend of her 2009, and I doubt the 2010 deviates significantly from that.
James Suckling
Great aromas of crushed blackberries with flowers and stones that follow through to a full body, with super silky tannins and a long, long finish. It fills your mouth with beautiful fruit and velvety tannins yet shows tension and form. This lasts for minutes on the palate. Structured and superb. Don't touch until 2020.
