The 2021 vintage is rated 92/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin "Dark, deep and beautiful colour. Intense, ripe fruity nose, evolving fragrantly in the glass. Immediately aromatic on the palate, but also tannic, with a fine texture and plenty of perfume. Moderately full-bodied, leaving plenty of room for the aromas. Very good". (April 2022).

The 2020 vintage is rated 92/100 by La Revue du Vin de France "More delicate, more suggestive in the aromatic panorama it offers, surprisingly fine and even light, both in structure and flesh. It possesses the early qualities that will allow us to wait until the great wine deigns to open up".
Rated 92/100 by N. Martin «The 2020 Haut-Bailly II bides its time in the glass, that flourishes with blackberry, shucked oyster shells, pressed iris flower and a touch of graphite. This is classy. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, gentle grip, fine tannins, smooth and cohesive with a generous sprinkling of black pepper towards the finish. This leaves the tongue tingling long after the wine has departed - a serious Deuxième vin.» (December 2022)
