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.

Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Haut-Bailly hits the ground running with bold black fruit preserves, Morello cherries, baked blueberries and tilled earth scents with nuances of fried herbs, chargrilled meat and a ferrous waft plus a touch of menthol. Medium to full-bodied, the taut palate has a firm, grainy texture with a lively line lifting the core of muscular fruit, finishing long and earthy. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

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. Tasted at the château.

Rather pale.  Lifted and gentle and a little muted and tart but certainly appetising.  Just the merest hint of green?   (JR)
