RP96 “A candidate for the -wine of the vintage,- the 2008 Haut-Bailly possesses incredible complexity. Tell-tale notes of lead pencil shavings, charcoal, damp earth, black cherries and black currants intermixed with a hint of subtle barbecue smoke are present in this classic, quintessential Graves. Medium-bodied with an emerging, precocious complexity, it is a super-pure, beautifully textured, long wine that can be drunk now or cellared for 20-25 years. Bravo!” RP May 2011

Robert Parker writes, “In a few short years, new proprietor Robert Wilmers and his winemaker, Veronique Sanders, have raised Haut-Baillys quality to the level of Pape-Clement, La Mission-Haut-Brion, and Haut-Brion.” Published: Apr 28, 2009
