lavender and toast

jammy Merlot

segueing into a well-defined second half with brown spices and hints of leather

but it opens well in the glass

2019 | Château Haut-Bailly | Pessac-Léognan Chateau Figeac Drinking Window: 2028-2040Extremely aromatic, with incredible wet earth, bark, stone and graphite notes on the nose, then changing to violets, blackberries and blackcurrants. Full bodied, yet so linear and fine, with titanium tannins that go on so long. Builds and builds then just rolls around the palate through the endless finish. Real Bordeaux here. 56% cabernet sauvignon, 36% merlot, 4% cabernet franc, and 4% petit verdot. 99 Pts James Suckling
