Description

Chateau Haut Bailly 2008
Pessac-Leognan
lbsl
Double-Magnum (1)

Wines sourced by an industry insider from impeccable sources. Many wines are one-step removed from the cellar door, and all stored in temperature and humidity control.

"A candidate for the -wine of the vintage,- the 2008 Haut-Bailly possesses incredible complexity. Tell-tale notes of lead pencil shavings, charcoal, damp earth, black cherries and black currants intermixed with a hint of subtle barbecue smoke are present in this classic, quintessential Graves. Medium-bodied with an emerging, precocious complexity, it is a super-pure, beautifully textured, long wine that can be drunk now or cellared for 20-25 years. Bravo!" (96 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, May 2011)

"The 2008 Haut-Bailly, one of the longest harvests on record, has an impressive bouquet with gorgeous blackberry, briary, rose petal and bay leaf aromas. This is very delineated and focused. The palate is well balanced with fine-boned tannins. The acidity lends edginess and tension. The finish is cohesive and harmonious with lightly spiced black fruit, tobacco and clove. This is a lovely, understated but classy 2008." (94 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, June 2021)
