Jane Anson
Medium intensity ruby colour, and lovely aromatics, really comes out in waves, soft, charming, gentle, extremely carefully constructed, this is a lovely wine, sweet berries and woodsmoke, has an effortless feeling. No need to wait too long, hard to argue with. Harvest 18 September to 4 October, 30hl/h yield. 91 points

The 2024 Haut-Bailly II is soft, open-knit and gracious. Silky tannins wrap around a core of macerated cherry, blood orange, spice and new leather. Medium in body and nicely layered, the Haut-Bailly II is all class. The 2024 is aromatic and delicate, with lovely inner perfume and fine balance. 89-91 points

The 2024 Haut-Bailly II was picked from September 18 to October 4, with Petit Verdot in this year`s blend. It has a light bouquet that`s well defined, with a mixture of red and black fruit and gravel scents percolating through with time. The 30% new oak is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh with grainy tannins, black pepper and tobacco notes. This is a little drier than anticipated, but it has fine balance. Drink this after a year or two. 88-90 points
