Chateau Haut-Bailly, Pessac-Leognan, France 2018 Aux Origines This is an impressive wineComplex and expressive nose, offering red and dark fruit, spices and pepper with wood and mushroom undertones. Fresh mussel shell and a hint of ink, too. Full bodied with a fine texture and great balance between the acidity and the controlled, tannic structure. Very long finish. 99 Pts James Suckling
