Château Haut-Bailly Pessac Léognan 2018

Young, dense and deftly constructed, layered with dark blackberry pastille fruits, edges of mint leaf, graphite and griotte cherry, balanced tannins. A deft handling of a vintage that saw some extremes of heat, and will age extremely well. First vintage under Chris Wilmers, succeeding his father Bob Wilmers. Harvest September 17 to October 8. Axel Marchal and Valerie Lavigne consultants, Gabriel Vialard winemaker.
