Château Haut-Bailly 2010 AOC Grand Cru Classe Pessac-Leognan

Wine Advocate-Parker: 95/100
The 2010 Haut Bailly has consistently been a fantastic wine, and at seven years of age, I have no reason to alter that view. It has a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, wet stone, black olive and a light marine influence. It is still backward compared to other vintages, but it has not relinquished one iota of its intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This is a voluminous Haut Bailly, one that is beginning to stretch its muscles, with a gentle grip in the mouth with a wonderful saline finish.

Cabernet Sauvignon: 62%
Merlot: 36%
