CHÂTEAU HAUT-BAILLY 2007 (1)

Pessac-Léognan. Grand Cru Classé
scuffed label.

CHÂTEAU HAUT-BAILLY 2009 (3)

Pessac-Léognan. Grand Cru Classé
u. 1 x bn. 2 x scraped and scuffed labels.

The 2009, which has an opaque ruby/purple color, an extraordinary nose of high-quality unsmoked cigar tobacco, graphite, blackcurrants and spice, hits the palate with a medium to full-bodied, saturated and rich mouthfeel, but an elegant and ethereal quality that is difficult to articulate. It is rich, complex and tastes as if it were the vinous equivalent of a remarkable haute couture creation from the late Coco Chanel. It is full-bodied yet elegant, powerful yet delicate, and remarkably velvety-textured, sumptuous and loaded with upside potential. It can be approached now, as most 2009s tend to be, given their richness of fruit, low acidity and extraordinary concentration, but the great complexity that will emerge from this fabulous terroir is at least a decade away, and this wine is set for 50 or more years of longevity. Kudos to Haut-Bailly! April 2015 Drink: 2015-2065 WA 100
