CRITIC REVIEWS
James Lawther MW
60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot. Crimson hue. Fruit-driven nose with a slightly leafy edge. Now seems simpler than the 2011. The palate is juicy and pleasant but slightly drying and edgy on the finish. Perhaps trying a little too hard? (JL)
Robert M. Parker, Jr.
The classic 2012 Haut-Bailly is staggeringly great wine, with a stunning bouquet of lead pencil shavings, blueberries, black raspberries and blackcurrants and perhaps a touch of spring flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied wine with an almost seamless integration of wood, alcohol and tannin. 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, Ã la great cuisine. It should be drinkable reasonably young, but age effortlessly for 25-30 years.
