  March 15, 2024 - Right now this is very strict, closed, serious, vertical, cool and tight. Difficult to evaluate at this point, I think, needs five years.

  March 9, 2024 - Dark garnet in color, the wine is equally dark aromatically with its nuances of smoky black cherries, blackberries, cocoa, cigar box, flowers and black plums. On the palate, the wine is focused on its chewy, black cherries, chalk, spicy black raspberries, cocoa and spice. Texturally, the wine offers an exotic, sensuous, elegant quality that I really like. It separates Haut Bailly from all the other wines I tasted. The wine is probably always going to be a bit reticent in character, so, allow it a few years in the cellar, and some time in the decanter as well. The wine blends 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot ,and 3% Cabernet Franc, representing the highest percentage of Petit Verdot in the history of the estate. 2021 is the first vintage produced in their new, state-of-the-art cellars. Drink from 2026-2055.

  March 4, 2024 - Amsterdam UGCB Tasting (Zuiderkerk): Lovely fruit but the tannins are a bit grippy, dry and chalky finish.

  March 4, 2024 - UGCB tasting-Amsterdam 2021 Bordeaux 03-04-2024: A mix of red fruit and vanilla, refined midttaste and a gentlle finish, but, for me, missing a bit the personality the Domaine de Chevalier has.

  March 1, 2024 - (65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc. Kräftiges Rubin. Die Nase ist tiefgründig und kühl, ein fantastischer Duft, florale Noten, Cassis, Brombeeren, subtil das Holz vom Fassausbau. Der Gaumen ist würzig, frisch, klar und rein wie ein Bergbach, der Wein hat eine sehr gute Struktur, zeigt viel Cabernet-Charakter, das ist einmal mehr pure Präzision, die Gerbstoffe sind markant, super fein verwoben, die Säure perfekt dosiert. Im Abgang von sehr schöner Länge, endet rotfruchtig und mit delikater Würze. Wie immer sie es auf Haut-Bailly auch machen, das ist einmal mehr ausgezeichnet. 2026-2043+ (Verkostet im November 2023 in Zürich bei UGCB)
