Lot 289 Details
CHÂTEAU HAUT-BAILLY 2008
Pessac-Léognan. Grand Cru Classé

A candidate for the -wine of the vintage,- the 2008 Haut-Bailly possesses incredible complexity. Tell-tale notes of lead pencil shavings, charcoal, damp earth, black cherries and black currants intermixed with a hint of subtle barbecue smoke are present in this classic, quintessential Graves. Medium-bodied with an emerging, precocious complexity, it is a super-pure, beautifully textured, long wine that can be drunk now or cellared for 20-25 years. Bravo! 96 WA


12 bts. (OWC) per lot $1,300 - $1,500

Realised: $1,680
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
