Lot 547 Details
CHÂTEAU HAUT-BAILLY 2005

Pessac-Léognan. Grand Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn. 2 x marked labels.

The 2005 Haut Bailly is rapidly turning into a glorious wine. You instantly fall in love with the purity on the nose, luscious red cherries, wild strawberry and blueberry. This is still youthful and beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a structured opening like many in this vintage. It exerts a gentle grip in the mouth, quite tensile and linear and perhaps just tightening up a tad toward the finish. It is biding its time, but it will repay those who cellar this outstanding 2005 for another four or five years. Tasted March 2017. Drink to 2050 WS 95 WA 95

2 bts.    per lot $400 - $600

Realised: $606
