Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 for 2016 Chateau Haut-Bailly, Pessac-Leognan, France 750ml at Fine Wines International

Tasting Note

Arriving Fall 2019 

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. Lisa Perrotti-Brown
