This 2005 Haut-Bailly is rich and ripe. Although fruit driven, there is a delicious mineral quality too that gives some freshness. Certainly tasty now but not sure how much of a long lived wine this is.

Deep and delicious. Still a baby. After an hour decant it was still just a massive wine but started showing the complexity I expected. Really amazing wine but maybe a touch over extracted

Standing tall and strong. It has power and length but is very well balanced with fruit, acid, and earth. Drinking like a baby still and has integrity to sit for much longer!

This showed well with notes of red & black fruits, leather, menthol, savory spices, mineral & tobacco notes. From a freshly opened owc purchased on futures.

Some backstory, but a bottle I had been after and stumbled into two and couldn’t wait long to open one. Did not disappoint. Lower alcohol - 13% - really suits this wine. Great acidic balance. Always rewarding when a long anticipated bottles hits.

This Haut Bailly is gorgeous still young tasting with red currant, dark cherries, burning embers and graphite. In a good spot now but can go another 15 years no problem!
