Haut Bailly 2000 is a dry, full-bodied red from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon (Pessac-Léognan, France), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are firm and acidity moderate; oak influence is some. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 26-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with roast chicken, roast pork, bolognese, steak.

Merchant's description

This a wonderful effort from esteemed Pessac-Léognan estate, Château Haut-Bailly. A blend of 53% Merlot with 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, it is an elegant and beautifully balanced wine, with notes of clove-infused black fruits, cedar, tobacco and earth. Though drinking superbly now it should continue to evolve over the next 5-8 years.
