Chateau Haut Bailly 2019 Magnum in 1er OHK

NEU

8 Feb, 2022 – Extremely aromatic, with incredible wet-earth, bark, stone and graphite notes on the nose, then changing to violets, blackberries and blackcurrants. Full-bodied, yet so linear and fine, with titanium tannins that go on so long. Builds and builds then just rolls around the palate through the endless finish. Real Bordeaux here. 56% cabernet sauvignon, 36% merlot, 4% cabernet franc, and 4% petit verdot. Exceptional. Better after 2029.

The 2019 Haut-Bailly unwinds in the glass with complex aromas of dark berries, bay leaf, loamy soil and cigar wrapper, framed by a discreet patina of new oak. Full-bodied, velvety and elegantly muscular, it's powerful and concentrated, with lively acids and an abundance of ripe but youthfully assertive structuring tannin that will demand some patience.

The 2019 Haut-Bailly is a huge, powerful wine. There is plenty of the richness of this warm vintage, but a ton of tannin too. In most warmer years, Haut-Bailly can be a real charmer upfront, but in 2019 it's all about somber dark fruit, tannin and structure. A wine of breadth and power, Haut-Bailly will need many years in the cellar to truly blossom. It's unquestionably a big wine with a brilliant future. Bright aromatics lend freshness as the 2019 continues to open with air.

The 2019 Haut-Bailly, matured in 50% new oak and bottled in April 2021, has a stunning, classy and sophisticated bouquet of blackberry, melted tar, Earl Grey and light minerally scents. This is extremely focused, almost pixelated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, but there is real backbone and structure to this wine. Deep, intense, classy and classic in style, delivering an immense amount of sapidity on the enormously persistent finish. As I mentioned previously, this is a less flamboyant Haut-Bailly, but more intellectual.

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Ockerrandaufhellung. Zart floral unterlegtes dunkles Waldbeerkonfit, Nuancen von Brombeeren und Lakritze, feine tabakige Noten, ein Hauch von Orangenzesten, mineralischer Touch. Stoffig, sehr komplex, zart schokoladige, fleischige Textur, reife, tragende Tannine, samtiger und lange anhaftender Stil, süße Kirschen im Nachhall, mineralisch-salzig, tolle Länge, sicheres Reifepotenzial für Jahrzehnte.

Composed of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon. 36% Merlot. 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. the 2019 Haut-Bailly was harvested from the 23rd of September to 11th of October. Deep garnet-purple colored. it leaps from the glass with vivacious notes of blackcurrant cordial. black raspberries and plum preserves with a tantalizing undercurrent of candied violets. dark chocolate. menthol and licorice plus a touch of Chinese five spice. Medium to full-bodied. the palate is achingly elegant. showing off perfumed black fruit layers with a firm frame of very fine-grained. silt-like tannins and seamless freshness. finishing with incredible persistence and fragrance. Just magic.

Such totally graceful perfumes to this. showing currants. dried flowers and stones. as well as hints of forest fruit and subtle tar. asphalt and smoke. Full-bodied. yet the texture is pristine with intense. polished and fine-grained tannins. So long. flavorful and ever so beautiful. The finish is never ending. This really is something special. 56% cabernet sauvignon. 36% merlot. 4% cabernet franc and 4% petit verdot.

The 2019 Haut-Bailly was picked 23 September to 10 October. After 10-15 minutes in the glass the wine gradually unfurls to reveal beautiful red berry fruit. crushed stone. wilted rose petals and faint hints of blueberry. The palate is quite brilliantly balanced. the tannins extremely fine and framing the slightly earthy black fruit laced with salt. Though Véronique Sanders suggests that it bears a semblance to the 2009 with more depth. I cannot see that verisimilitude. To me. it is a less flamboyant and more terroir expressive Haut-Bailly that has an effortless allure and a sense of sophistication. Wonderful.
