Tasting Notes
Vinous 96
The 2016 Haut-Bailly has a ripe nose with blackberry, bilberry, violet and sage, gaining complexity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, fresh and crisp, with a detailed and focused finish. Elegant and poised, this is a Haut-Bailly with a long and prosperous life ahead. Tasted at Bordeaux Index’s 10-Year-On tasting in London.
Anticipated maturity: 2027-2050
Robert Parker 98
The 2016 Haut-Bailly is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. The nose opens with beautiful floral notes of violets and lavender accented with earthy notions and sparks of crushed rocks over a core of kirsch, cassis and wild blueberries. Full-bodied, rich and seductive, it has layer upon layer of red, black and blue fruits intermingled with earth and mineral hints leading to a very long, perfumed finish.
Anticipated maturity: 2023-2046
