Community Tasting Note

• Eric Guido Likes this wine: 95 points

  November 8, 2018 - The ‘05 Haut Bailly was classic in every way, and it was a pleasure to taste. Here I found crushed raspberry with hints of red currant, as lifting minerals, floral and dusty earth tones added perfumed depths. On the palate, I found an elegant and refined expression, with dark red fruits, citrus-tinged blackberry, mocha and minerals, all kept fresh through balanced acidity. Residual tannin appeared on the finish, as black raspberry and spice seemed to saturate the senses, leaving a savory mineral twang.
