Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
Tobacco leaf, smoke, spice, plums, currants and a touch of coffee bean on the nose. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, round, fresh, lifted and focused on its elegant, tobacco-tinted, black currants, plums, spice and cigar wrapper notes. This is perfect to enjoy while waiting for the Grand Vin to develop. The wine blends 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Malbec. Drink from 2023-2033.
Falstaff
Dark ruby, purple hues on the broad rim. Red berries, fresh cherries, delicate floral touch, a hint of liquorice. Juicy, elegant, sweet core, well-integrated tannins, mineral-salty finish, persistent, good freshness, chocolatey nuances on the finish; versatile.
Druvor
70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting note
The 2021 Haut-Bailly II reveals aromas of plum, blackberries and vanilla pot, followed by a medium to full-bodied, elegant and balanced palate with powdery tannins and a delicate finish. It is more somber and tense than the 2020 counterpart but remains charming.
Haut-Bailly now boasts one of Bordeaux's grander new wineries, but the 2019 vintage at this address reminds us that the old facilities were more than capable of delivering excellence too! Winemaking here is rather gentle, with comparatively cool fermentation temperatures and a modest 50% new oak, yet the 2019s are rather structured, serious wines that will demand a bit of patience, reflecting a more classically proportioned, elegant style than the more flamboyant 2018. As usual, Cabernet Sauvignon represents slightly over half of the blend, including a block of ancient, more than 100-year-old vines in front of the château itself.
