JAMES SUCKLING: "Pure fruit here in a reserved and focused presentation with just a hint of dried roses. Full body, integrated tannins and a fresh, tangy finish. Shows focus and brightness. Second wine of Château Haut-Bailly. Needs two or three years to soften."

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "This wine has a fine, dense texture that is impressive with its smooth velvet character. The tannins are dark, solid and show a dry side to balance the beautiful juicy fruit. Although this is a second wine, it does have the structure of a wine more senior than that."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Forward, and already delicious, you find smoke, blackberries, cherries, graphite and tobacco with a touch of licorice in the nose. Soft, round and with loads of ripe, sweet, earthy dark red fruits, popped and poured, this was just great with dinner."

WINE SPECTATOR: " Solid, with bramble-edged grip and good drive to the mix of plum, red currant and raspberry coulis flavors, lined with a bright iron streak and backed by a racy savory edge on the finish. Best from 2020 through 2027. 5,000 cases made."
