Château Haut-Bailly 2016 - Pessac-Léognan

Description

Graves Classified Growth 2016 was a remarkable year, well balanced between sunshine and rainfall, with beautiful bud blossoming and healthy harvests under optimal sunshine. La robe is inky black with some blue highlights On the nose: a broad aromatic palette of white flowers such as acacia and honeysuckle mingled with black berries, vine peach fragrances with mineral and smoky notes (quartz and silica) and a very light graphite finish. On the palate, the tannins are very round, expressive and sumptuous, with a very fruity finish of jammy Ente and Reine Claude plums. Bottles should be stored in a cellar, away from light and noise, with an optimum humidity level of 70%. This is a wine for laying down, whose current peak will probably last well into the 2040s. Decant several hours before serving.
