WA90-92: Aromas of cassis, mulberries, violet and dark wild berries characterized this elegant, gourmand and fresh 2023 Haut-Bailly II. This is a blend of 64% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc matured 30% in new oak and the rest in one- to two-year-old barrels.
JD90-92: The second wine from this great château, the 2023 Château Haut-Bailly II is based 64% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc, resting in 30% new barrels, representing 35% of the total production. Ripe black cherries, currants, tobacco, spice box, and floral notes all emerge on the nose, and it's beautifully balanced, medium-bodied, and elegant on the palate, with ripe, polished tannins.
