Château Haut-Bailly Pessac Léognan Cru Classé de Graves 1976

On the nose this is a little flat, with emphasis on mushrooms, undergrowth, gentle blackberry fruits if you give it time to open, but short on the finish. One to drink soon. At the time the estate was owned by Jean Sanders, the grandfather of current owner Véronique Sanders, and this may be bottle variation, as although this was a challenging vintage, you can find some good examples.
