Chateau Haut-Bailly, Pessac-Leognan, France 2018 Anonimo Ancestral raw silklike texture on the

raw silklike texture on the palate

So much black truffle and blueberry on the nose

This is a cooler-climate Syrah done with the light touch of a Pinot Noir master

characteristic of the Verdejo variety and sustained by good acidity

Beautiful with roast lamb

Chateau Haut-Bailly, Pessac-Leognan, France 2018 Anonimo Ancestral raw silklike texture on theComplex 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
