Château Haut-Bailly 2010 is a notable red wine from the Pessac-Léognan appellation of Bordeaux. Crafted from a blend primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this vintage reflects the characteristics specific to its year. The wine presents notes of dark fruit, oak and earthy undertones, showcasing a firm structure paired with moderate acidity. Château Haut-Bailly has a storied history, established in the 15th century and classified as Cru Classé de Graves in 1959. The estate continues to thrive under the guidance of Véronique Sanders, ensuring a commitment to its heritage and quality.

Still fairly youthful in appearance with light bricking on the rim, the 2010 Haut-Bailly has an intoxicating nose that is in full flight. a mélange of red and black fruit, loam, truffle, just a touch of powdered dark chocolate and then gaminess developing with aeration. The aromatics have a slightly melted quality that I associate more with the 2009s. The palate shows impressive weight and poise, the acidity effortlessly counterbalancing the ripe fruit, and hints of brown spice, meat juices and Provençal herbs coming through with time. There is a sense of completeness about this Haut-Bailly that is completely disarming. What a fabulous wine. Thank God, this time, there was no trace of TCA. - Neil Martin - The 2010 Haut-Bailly was served at dinner following the Giscours vertical. This has a powerful and almost primal bouquet with copious scents of black cherries, crushed stones and violets—the latter perhaps more prominent than previous bottles. The palate is, again, perhaps due to impeccable provenance, backward and obviously a decade away from its peak. But what a peak that will be, promising intense black fruit notes laced with tobacco and sous-bois. Quite audacious on the finish, the 2010 is a gem.
95 Robert Parker
The 2010 Haut Bailly has consistently been a fantastic wine, and at seven years of age I have no reason to alter that view. It has a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, wet stone, black olive and a light marine influence. It is still backward compared to other vintages, but it has not relinquished one iota of its intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This is a voluminous Haut Bailly, one that is beginning to stretch its muscles, with a gentle grip in the mouth with a wonderful saline finish. There is huge potential locked into this wine, but patience is needed. Tasted March 2017. - Neal Martin
