Haut-Bailly II 2019 – Pessac-Léognan

The nose is elegant, fruity and offers a certain power, a beautiful finesse of the grain. It reveals notes of pulpy wild blackberry, bright wild strawberry, small notes of small crushed red fruits associated with fine touches of violet, cornflower, crushed blueberry as well as discreet hints of cuben pepper, toasted almond and nutmeg. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, racy and offers tension, suavity, gourmandize as well as a fine acidulous frame, a small freshness and tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe/pulpy blackberry, crushed cassis, small notes of ripe/pulpy strawberry associated with small touches of chocolate, crunchy/fresh violet, toasted, caramelization as well as a discreet hint of almond. Tannins are well-built, elegant and very finely firm. An imperceptible hint of crushed almond on the persistence.
