William Kelly zum Haut Bailly II 2021 Pessac Leognan (April 2022):
A blend dominated by 68% Merlot, the 2021 Haut-Bailly II exhibits aromas of plums, dark berries and raw cocoa, followed by a medium to full-bodied, lively and seamless palate. Underpinned by powdery tannins, it's an elegant, incipiently complex wine that contains all but one vat of the estate's best Merlot this year. 89-91 Punkte
