The 2013 Haut Bailly is a cut above many Pessac-Léognan wines this year. It is bestowed an engaging, red cherry, strawberry and iodine-scented bouquet that unfolds in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with quite bold tannin for the vintage, but here there is the fruit to back it up and there is real density on the ferrous finish. "Team Sanders" has made a considered, harmonious and very agreeable wine for the vintage, even if it might pale against other recent releases. Just 2,000 cases this vintage. Last tasted at the property in March 2016 and you know, it might well garner a higher evaluation with bottle age. |

19/20: De grande structure, avec de la puissance et une tannicité marquée en bouche, ce 2013 demeure un modèle de réussite dans le millésime. Il se distingue par de la race, de la tenue, une corpulence supérieure et une allonge tramée. |
