Christian Balog beschreibt den Chateau Haut Bailly 2022 Pessac Leognan wie folgt:
95-97+ Punkte
Die Nase zeigt sich etwas kompakter ind tiefgründiger als sein kleiner Bruder. Die Aromen sind noch etwas zurückhaltender. Dennoch nimmt man viel dunkle reife Frucht wahr, es kommen sogar feine florale Nuancen mit ins Spiel und eine portion Blaubeere. Im Mund ist der Wein mit guter Balance ausgestattet, er hat eine feinkörnige Tanninstruktur, gute Frische im klaren und langen Ausklang.
Den Chateau Haut Bailly 2022 Pessac Leognan beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt:
The 2022 Haut-Bailly offers up aromas of dark berries complemented by accents of iris, lilac, rose petals, graphite and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, dense, it's layered and textural, with a deep core of fruit, powdery tannins and a penetrating, saline finish. Vinified along traditional lines, it is a structured wine that will take some time to hit its stride, but at this early stage it appears suppler and more seamless than its 2020 and 2019 predecessors. A blend of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc from grapes picked from September 7 to 27, it's maturing half in new barriques and half in one- or two-year-old barrels.
Den Chateau Haut Bailly 2022 Pessac Leognan beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
Incredible complexity of aromas here with ripe currants and blackberries, but also dried flowers like violets and roses. Then there’s forest flower character such as bark, mushroom and sandalwood. Black truffles. Full-bodied with tight and chewy tannins that are polished and pure, with a solid and tight finish. It builds on your palate and frames the wine beautifully. 56% cabernet sauvignon, 37% merlot, 5% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc.
Den Chateau Haut Bailly 2022 Pessac Leognan beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
The 2022 Château Haut-Bailly is going to be one of the legendary vintages at this château, and it should be a no-brainer purchase for readers. Based on 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, it has an incredible perfume of cassis, ripe black cherries, crushed stone, smoke tobacco, and wood smoke. Earning more than a few expletives in my notes, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, and ultra-fine, silky tannins. Hold onto your hats, ladies and gentlemen, this is an incredible wine in the making!
Den Chateau Haut Bailly 2022 Pessac Leognan beschreibt Fallstaff wie folgt:
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Ockerrandaufhellung. Zart nach kandierten Veilchen, Lakritze, dunkle Kirschfrucht, ein Hauch von Mandarinenzesten, ein Hauch von Kräuterwürze und Edelholz. Kraftvoll, elegant, reife Kirschen, feine Extraktsüße, ein Hauch von Schokolade, ausgewogen und lange anhaftend, sicheres Reifepotenzial.
