2013 Château Haut-Bailly, Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux

Glorious. Beautifully fresh and ripe red fruits almost Pinot noir like nose. Effortlessly classy with really delicate and fine tannins holding together a radiant and pure core of slightly racey, crunchy and succulent fruit. Always a favourite with the BBR team the rigorous selection made to ensure this wine's highest quality really has worked beautifully here. As good as its 2004 and 2006.

The last 2013 we tasted while visiting Bordeaux and as attractive a wine as could be hoped for. As with all successful ‘13s, there’s nothing at all stretched about the wine and Véronique and team have crafted a delightfully pure-fruited example that maintains their house style effortlessly. This will make very agreeable drinking 3-5 years hence, perhaps over lunch on a similarly, blossom-laden day that we enjoyed there last week.

It is reserved on the palate and the nose, but opens up slowly in the glass with attractive raspberry and cherry fruit and a lingering savoury finish. The market freshness, precision of fruit and wonderfully firm silky tannins that I have come to associate with Ch. Haut Bailly are all there. Few properties offer the consistency of Ch. Haut Bailly and 2013 is no exception, reminiscent of a combination of 2001 and 2004. A very traditional blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc.
