Chateau Haut-Bailly, Pessac-Leognan, France 2018 Aux Origines this wine is firm

this wine is firm

retro nasally it evokes black fruits and roasted notes perceived in nose

with ample acidity and ripe black-fruit flavors that are framed by supple tannins

Kubota's distinctive smooth and clean texture and crisp flavor lead into a comfortably long finish

but soft fruits and firm

Chateau Haut-Bailly, Pessac-Leognan, France 2018 Aux Origines this wine is firmComplex and expressive nose, offering red and dark fruit, spices and pepper with wood and mushroom undertones. Fresh mussel shell and a hint of ink, too. Full bodied with a fine texture and great balance between the acidity and the controlled, tannic structure. Very long finish. 99 Pts James Suckling
