Château Haut-Bailly boasts a history of winemaking which goes back centuries and is one of the oldest vineyards in the Pessac-Léognan appellation. The 2009 vintage is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. A wine of great power and smoothness, wonderfully succulent in texture and offering a very pure expression of ripe fruit.
The 2009 Haut-Bailly remains a glorious example from this Pessac-Léognan estate and confirms my recent encounters. Blueberries and cassis scents soon join black cherries, blood orange and iris flower notes on the nose. It skillfully translates the precocity of the growing season, though there is just a touch of alcohol that blurs the edges compared to more recent vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with a sensual, creamy, velvety texture. It is laden with black fruit and just a hint of liquorice, more primal than the bottle opened at the vertical the previous year. Drinking perfectly now if you like a bit of hedonism, otherwise, leave it four to five more years.
