Tasting Notes
Vinous NR
The 2019 Haut-Bailly does not correlate to previous bottles that I have encountered and feels a little evolved. Perhaps this example shows a little oxidation? I will not rate based in this showing. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. [Neal Martin, 28/02/2023]

The 2019 Haut-Bailly unwinds in the glass with complex aromas of dark berries, bay leaf, loamy soil and cigar wrapper, framed by a discreet patina of new oak. Full-bodied, velvety and elegantly muscular, it’s powerful and concentrated, with lively acids and an abundance of ripe but youthfully assertive structuring tannin that will demand some patience.
