Château Haut-Bailly Pessac Léognan 2012

Evident cocoa bean, dusted almonds, generous blackberry fruits, creamy griotte cherry, gourmet edged, with fresh acidities that ensure balance. Enjoyable, good quality with creamy fruit that builds through the palate. This is ready to drink but will continue to deliver over the next decade or more. Harvest 27 September to 15 October, Denis Dubourdieu consultant, Gabriel Vialard winemaker.
