the wine is generous and also has great freshness at the end

It smells like a bouquet of pink roses and then goes to currants

This is a structured and layered young red with hot-stone

Chateau Haut-Bailly, Pessac-Leognan, France 2010 Cotes de Castillon the wine is generous andCoiled and reserved at first, smoky cigar box as it opens, vivid and beautifully sleek blackcurrant, bilberry and blueberry fruits, taut and structured tannins even at 14 years old, with pencil lead and olive paste studding the palate from beginning to end. Plenty of estate signature in its finessed spirit, coupled with the concentration and swagger of the 2010 vintage. Harvest September 22 to October 14. Denis Dubourdieu consultant, Gabriel Vialard
