2004 Chateau Haut-Bailly Cru Classe, Pessac-Leognan

Colour: Red
Vintage: 2004
Region: Bordeaux, Pessac-Leognan
% Alcohol: 12.50

An estate that is at once both truly historic and very forward-thinking, under the ownership of the American Wilmers family and stewardship of Veronique Sanders, Haut Bailly has been producing wines of incredible quality for the past 10-15 years – although of course their history goes back way, way further than this. In fact the estate has some of the oldest vines, and one of the largest proportions of old vines, of any estate in the region. These old vines are all-important as the deep, complex root structures allows the vines to search out the rainwater left deep in the soils by winter and Spring rains, keeping the vines hydrated and fully operational even during hot dry summers.

Tasting Notes and Scores

94 JA-I

Dark plum in colour, edges of floral violet and peony as in the 1998 and the 2001, finessed, drawn out. Cool blue and black fruits, elegant and balanced, edges of graphite and flint, love it. Now switching over into its full drinking window, after 20 years of being just a little reserved. Veronique Sanders director, Denis Dubourdieu consultant. A real standout, one to savour. Harvest September 27 to October 18. 50% new oak.

The 2004 Haut-Bailly is a candidate for the finest wine of the appellation. Its dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by classic aromas of scorched earth, sweet black currants, cherries, and a hint of pain grille. Light on its feet, but substantially flavored, it possesses stunning purity, good acidity, ripe tannin, and abundant flavor as well as length. It builds incrementally and subtly in the mouth, but it’s the real deal. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2024.

The 2004 Haut-Bailly is a vintage where I feel that the estate went up a gear. It is noticeably deep in colour. Now, this has much more vigour and clarity on the nose compared to the 2003, with blackberry, briary, cedar and mint. Great focus and energy here. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, well judged acidity, lightly spiced black fruit with a marine element that I have not noticed in prior vintage. There is commendable depth and concentration on the finish - this is worth seeking out. The decade's dark horse? Tasted at the Haut-Bailly vertical at the château.

Bright, fresh ruby-red. Pungent aromas of blueberry and minerals. Explosively fruity and bright, with intense cassis and black cherry dominating. A very successful combination of structured cabernet and velvety merlot. Firm-edged acidity gives this wine terrific precision and cut. Today the tannins are a bit tough, but there's enough stuffing to support extended aging. Veronique Sanders noted that this was one of the few 2004s that really gained volume in barrel, and she stressed that this wine should be drunk after the 2003.

Neat, lively, well-focussed nose. Bright fruit, definitely Graves. Fine tannins. Quite vibrant; should not surely be reproached for being ‘only’ medium weight. (JR)

50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc. Good colour, slightly lighter rim. Lively and fresh with a hedgerow nuance to the fruit. Some undergrowth as well. Palate on the leafy side of maturity but fruit still present. Very digeste . Tannins tender and well managed. Firm finish with a bit of length. Step up from previous vintages in terms of clarity and tannin management. (JL)
