Renowned as one of the world’s most elegant wines, the character of Château Haut-Bailly is a series of unlikely paradoxes. It is as complex as it is balanced. deliberate and discrete, powerful and gentle, immediate and timeless. Here is the 1998 vintage. offering a soft and approachable smoky, curranted profile together with the maturity of extensive bottle age.
Though I have tasted the 1998 Haut-Bailly many times, this is the first time in magnum. It has an intense bouquet with blackberry and cassis. The violet element is a little stronger than I discerned on other bottles. The palate is medium-bodied with plenty of weight and density, powerful though almost pipped by the Pape Clément in terms of elegance towards the finish, something I would not expect. Still, this is a very fine Pessac-Léognan that, in a larger format, may benefit from another couple of years in bottle.
