Robert Parker - 96/100
The 2018 Haut-Bailly is blended of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc, and it has 14.4% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, it needs a little coaxing to unlock a powerhouse of black fruit preserves, offering notes of blackberry pie, crème de cassis and black cherry compote, giving way to nuances of Chinese five spice, camphor, chocolate box and licorice with a touch of crushed rocks. The medium to full-bodied palate is jam-packed with plush textured, rich black fruits, supported by a lively backbone and finishing long and spicy. It is decadently tempting to drink now, but give it 5 years in bottle to begin to see its full glory, while it should continue to transform for a further 20 years or more in cellar. robertparker.com (31.3.2021)

The best wines this estate has produced in the modern era. (William Kelley)
Full-bodied, rich and opulent on the palate, with layers of candied black fruit and spicy nuances. Firm, grainy structure, finishes with epic length.
Simply magnificent. The wine is rich, with incredible intensity and tannic structure. The finish is long and makes you want to go back for more!
Beautiful opaque ruby colour, with a particularly fragrant nose of small red fruits and spices; it will accompany most of your dishes.
Subtle balance between power and refinement: intense aromas of ripe fruit, smooth, straightforward attack, tight, velvety tannins, great purity.
Perfectly ripe, with hints of prune and black fruit and no excessive oakiness, this tender, generous wine is an instant hit.
Beautiful intense dark color. Fruity, lively nose. The wine is fruity, tasty and scented with fine tannins. Very enjoyable.
Fruity, licorice, leather, silky tannins; pairs well with trout, game, and cheese.
Aromas of berries and smoky oak. Medium-bodied, lively and melting palate.
