The 2020 Haut-Bailly II, which was harvested all in September, offers everything you’d want from a second wine and has up-front red and black fruits, some tobacco, floral, spicy, sandalwood nuances, medium-bodied richness, and a layered, silky mouthfeel. It has plenty of the class and elegance found in the Grand Vin, yet in a more approachable, undeniably delicious package. It’s perfect for drinking over the coming decade.
The Wine Cellar Insider: 93 Points
Smoke, tobacco leaf, cigar wrapper, spearmint, flowers and red berry aromas make the nose. On the palate, the wine is elegant, fresh and silky, with a polish to the tannins and ample, sweet, red fruits with a hint of spice and dark chocolate that remains in the endnote. Already showing fabulous today, it is only going to get better. Drink from 2023-2040
Vinous: 93+ Points
The 2020 Haut-Bailly II is super elegant and refined, with tons of aromatic nuance and character. Succulent dark cherry, rose petal, dried herbs and menthol lend energy to this super-classy Pessac-Léognan. The energy, precision and nuance here are superb. Perhaps more importantly, Haut-Bailly II does not come across as a wine from a warm year at all. -- Antonio Galloni
