Château Haut-Bailly 2005 Pessac-Léognan Cru Classé (1 lightly bin-soiled and 1 lightly scuffed label) owc 1 dozen bottles "Superripe and rich but with superb ripe acidity and firm tannins currently keeping the fruit and mineral elements under wraps. Just this side of severe today: here's a 2005 that appears already to have shut down in the bottle. Best today on the back end, where the wine really spreads out horizontally to saturate the palate. I'd give it a good 12 years of aging; it should be very long-lived. Classy, sharply chiseled Haut-Bailly with noteworthy elegance." (92+pts Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2008)
