Haut-Bailly is the most delicate of the Graves wines with a particularly silky tannic structure.
The 2008 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (November 2021): 97/100 “Intense, velvety, with subtly smoky and mentholated hints emerging from a complete and complex aromatic spectrum, the 2008 shows off the perfect grain of measured, fresh tannin, as civilized as it is natural, which, if it already seems ready, will carry the wine through the decades.”
Vinous (N. Martin - September 2022): 94/100 "The 2008 Haut-Bailly, one of the longest harvest on record, has an impressive bouquet with gorgeous blackberry, biarry, rose petal and bay leaf aromas. This is very delineated and focused. The palate is well balanced with fine-boned tannins. The acidity lends edginess and tension. The finish is cohesive and hamonious wuth lightly spiced black fruit, tobacco and clove. This is a lovely, understated but classy 2008. "
