Château Haut-Bailly 2007

An extremely complex bouquet of cedar, unsmoked cigar tobacco, berry fruit, and earth is followed by a medium-bodied, silky textured wine that builds incrementally, impressing the taster with its purity, overall equilibrium, and length. It is a quintessentially, elegant, flavorful wine to drink now and over the next 12-14 years. Drink: 2010-2024. Score - 90. (Robert Parker Jr., erobertparker.com, April 2010)
