Very out there and expressive, the 2003 Haut-Bailly is spicy with tobacco and a touch of ripeness with raisins. Good intensity and persistence.

Magnum. The amazing fact about Haut Bailly is that they have 4 hectares of vines more than 100 years of age. Unusually high for Bordeaux. Our host Andrew Caillard MW informed us that Penfolds oldest vines were older by 5 years. The wine died a little at the end because of the hot 2003 vintage.

Well managed 2003, shows the vintage's warmth but holds it all together fairly well.

Pine forest , tannic structure is there and also nicely integrated, dried herbs and leather. Fresh, elegant, lingering finish.

This wine completes my ‘01 - ‘04 vertical and was the best of the four! Not sure what wine others were drinking but this rocked!
45+ minute decant. Dark red color with a brownish rim. Nose had massive cedar and dark cherries. Medium plus depth filled with wood, graphite, licorice, and cherries. Refined and very elegant texture. Close to prime drinking age, but has some years left. Medium finish.
Miss London and these great Bordeaux. I need to reduce the Napa Cab in my cellar more in favor of these.
