Château Haut-Bailly 2008 is a full-bodied Left Bank Bordeaux from the Pessac-Léognan appellation. The 2008 vintage was a challenging but ultimately successful year that produced Bordeaux wines with a great sense of freshness and purity. This wine offers notes of redcurrant, black cherry and cedar, with nuances of tobacco and pencil shavings. The palate is elegant and well-structured, with a firm tannic backbone.
