It is rich, concentrated, stunningly supple, pure and a total hedonistic and intellectual turn-on. This wine defines what is meant by intensity of flavor, but it is light on its feet, à la great cuisine. It should be drinkable reasonably young, but age effortlessly for 25-30 years.\" Robert Parker, Apr 2015\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAG96 \"The 2012 Haut Bailly is quite fragrant and inviting. Dark raspberries, mint, crushed flowers, spices and rose petals all lift from the glass in this feminine, gracious Haut-Bailly that offers considerable near and medium-term appeal. All the elements fall into place in an effortless, stunningly beautiful wine endowed with personality and class. One of the wines of the vintage, the Haut Bailly will drink well for two decades-plus. This is a superb showing from proprietor Bob Wilmers and his team headed by Véronique Sanders. The decision to lower temperatures in fermentation and go for a soft, gentle extraction, along with strict selection has paid off big time. (Drink between 2018-2037)\" Antonio Galloni, Jan 2016\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJD96 \"The 2012 Haut Bailly is brilliant and does nothing to damper my belief that this vintage is underrated in the market. Offering up a classic bouquet of tobacco leaf, cigar wrapper, blackcurrants, lead pencil, and graphite, this beauty is full-bodied, has terrific concentration, integrated acidity and plenty of fine tannins. While it starts out up front and seemingly ready to go, it tightens up with time in the glass and is going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and drink nicely for two decades. It’s a sensational wine you won’t regret having in your cellar.\" Jeb Dunnuck, Aug 2018","brand":"Haut Bailly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50539809210605,"sku":"BDX:HBA:BAIL-1500-2012-F0L0C0","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/2012-chateau-haut-bailly-cru-classe-pessac-leognan-magnum-1-5l","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
