The 2019 Haut-Bailly II, the second wine of Haut-Bailly, has accentuated the sous-bois elements on the nose since bottling, now feeling quintessentially Pessac-Léognan and quite marine-influenced in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, taut and fresh, still a little piquant on the finish but with more precision than I recall. This is very impressive. Excellent.

Description
Chateau Haut Bailly has a long history in the Bordeaux region. While vines were being cultivated to produce wine at what we know of as Chateau Haut Bailly today as far back as 1461, the estate’s first attempt at cultivating a modern Bordeaux vineyard truly starts in 1530.
