  Coravin fun - Haut Bailly (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Plum, sweet spice, brambles, a little meaty concentrate; bacon fat and a tiny peppery note. Medium plus intensity acidity, plums, brambles, sweet spice, talc textured persistent tannins, sill quite primary on the palate, broad, long, nice.

  Day one with a couple of hours open, this is a lovely bottle—all berries, cassis, cedar wood, cigar wrapper, and plummy spice on the nose with fine, if rich, texture and plenty of dark fruits and sweet ripeness on the palate with fine-grained tannins and enough acidity to prevent this from veering from velvety to jammy/chocolatey. I’m afraid that day two open reveals the brûléed oak tannins as the fruit and dry extract drop off. Perfectly enjoyable with a bit of air, but I don’t suppose long term balance is here. Not that one should hold on to 2nd wines from Bordeaux beyond 10 or 12 years. That said, if you have a some grass fed lamb chops and a short window for decanting, this is not wholly disappointing. Damning with faint praise here, but I suppose I expect more from Haut Bailly.

  Coravin fun - Haut Bailly (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Aromas of plums, toast, sweet spice, with time a bit of raisin and the fruit grows and fills the glass; the plums are joined by a little bramble and blackcurrant and there is a very slight herbaceous note. On the palate it's plummy and spicy with savoury and quite tight; tannins are drying and talc textured. Broad. Medium plus length, a creamy note joins on the finish. Hmm.

  Very nice Bordeaux with chocolate, coffee, and berry notes. No earthy flavors. Easy to sip

  Not as keen this time as on prior bottle. Deep, fresh red colour. Rich dark berry aroma with earthy undertone but found it tight and dry. Did not decant, as had done on prior bottle, so maybe that did not help. I have some left in the bottle and will see what it is like.
