I have for sale 3 bottles of Chateau Haut Bailly 1988 in good condition which I'm selling as individual bottles. Capsules in good condition but the bottles are slightly stained.
My reserve is a bargain for a mature Haut Bailly from a massively under rated vintage that was overshadowed (and as a result offers real value) by 1989 and 1990.

Dark chocolate, with meat, fresh mushroom and a light espresso undertone. Full-bodied, with ultrarefined tannins and a meaty, berry, earth and spice undertone, even game. Rich and generous. What a surprise. Much better than I remember. (Web-2009).

Consistent with previous note. Youthful with good length

Haut Bailly Dinner (Medlar, Chelsea): Youthful appearance - deep ruby, medium pale ruby rim. Lovely nose - black and red berry fruits, tobacco. Medium bodied, blackcurrant, tobacco, firm but fine tannin, very good length finish. Lovely ****.

Haut Bailly (Medlar, London): Amazingly dense, full and almost purple-tinged ruby. Huge difference from the 85. Dense dark red-fruited nose. So fragrant. Dense attack. Some dryness on the finish in line with the vintage but far more vibrant than I remembered it being.****

Poured into a decanter for 30 mins. It opened up with soil, earth, minerals, forest and metal. Classic aged pessac wine. There is still acid and vibrant fruit to make it interesting.

At his pic. A great wine generous and with the caracteristic of the best Pessac Leognan.
