Château Haut-Bailly - 1989


Premier cru from Graves. Unquestionably cassis-driven and left-banky, with a good dose of Graves tobacco smoke, then game and cedar. At different moments it makes me think of both eggy custard and bacon. Gravelicious – a delightful blend of smoke and fruit, surely drinking at its best now.

94/100
