2002 Ch. Haut-Bailly, Pessac-Léognan

"An elegant, dark ruby/purple-tinged effort displaying notes of tobacco smoke intermixed with sweet currant, cherry, and some toast, this medium-bodied wine has the hallmark purity married graciously with nicely concentrated fruit. The tannins are sweet but present and give definition to this well-made Pessac-Leognan. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2016." 90/100 points. (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Apr-2005)
