Den Chateau Haut Bailly 2018 Pessac Leognan beschreibt Lisa Perrotti-Brown wie folgt: The 2018 Haut-Bailly is blended of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc, and it has 14.4% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, it needs a little coaxing to unlock a powerhouse of black fruit preserves, offering notes of blackberry pie, crème de cassis and black cherry compote, giving way to nuances of Chinese five spice, camphor, chocolate box and licorice with a touch of crushed rocks. The medium to full-bodied palate is jam-packed with plush textured, rich black fruits, supported by a lively backbone and finishing long and spicy. It is decadently tempting to drink now, but give it 5 years in bottle to begin to see its full glory, while it should continue to transform for a further 20 years or more in cellar.
Den Chateau Haut Bailly 2018 Pessac Leognan beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt: Complex and expressive nose, offering red and dark fruit, spices and pepper with wood and mushroom undertones. Fresh mussel shell and a hint of ink, too. Full-bodied with a fine texture and great balance between the acidity and the controlled, tannic structure. Very long finish. Goes on and on. Tiny production, 21 hectoliters per hectare. Try after 2025.
Den Chateau Haut Bailly 2018 Pessac Leognan beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt: The Grand Vin 2018 Château Haut-Bailly checks in as 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and the balance Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It spent 18 months in 60% new French oak. This is a beautiful, classic expression of this terroir, and its dense purple hue is followed by gorgeous black cherry and cassis fruits interwoven with ample tobacco leaf, cedary herbs, earth, truffle, and floral nuances. While 2018 was a hot, dry year (at the end of the season anyway), this shows a mix of cooler-climate, vibrant aromatics paired with a rich, concentrated, fresh style on the palate. It has plenty of tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. A beautiful, elegant 2018, it's going to need 5-7 years of bottle age and keep for 3-4 decades.

Cuvee: 55 Cabernet Sauvignon / 35 Merlot / 5 Cabernet Franc / 5 Petit VerdotErntezeitpunkt: zwischen 17. September und 09. OctoberDunkle reife Frucht. das Tannin ist sehr kompakt und stoffig. noch nie soll ein Haut Bailly diese Konzentration aufgewiesen haben. Tolles langes Finale. gepaart mit dieser vibrierenden Frische. Noch fehlt es etwas an Aromentiefe zum 2016er Haut Bailly. aber hier sind ja auch noch nicht alle Register gezogen. der Ausbau wird diesem Strukturwunder mit Sicherheit gut tun.

I love the hazelnut and coffee-bean undertones to the beautiful fruit. which shows great finesse. Full-bodied yet compact and tight. giving a sense of agility and flight to the wine. Extremely tight and polished tannins.
Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Haut Bailly 2018 Pessac Leognan wie folgt:The 2018 Haut-Bailly speaks with real authority and class. Deeply spiced notes lead into a core of red/purplish berry fruit. lavender. licorice. new leather. menthol and tobacco. Vivid and dramatic in bearing. the 2018 possesses striking resonance from start to finish. There is plenty of tannin as well. but it is pretty much buried by the sheer luxuriousness of the fruit. while the mid-palate and saline-infused finish show terrific freshness as well as purity. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon. 35% Merlot. 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.
