Description

2006 Château Haut-Bailly, Pessac-Léognan, BordeauxA vintage that gets overlooked after the brilliance of the 2005, but that has a lot to offer in its structure and classicism. The fruit character here is dark, still knitted down, even moody, with plenty of aromatics and fresh acidities. The grip is evident, with tannins that are holding everything in place, not quite ready to let go, with earth and liquorice coming through as it opens in the glass. Drink 2020 2036, 93 100, Jane Anson, Decanter. com

When this happens

sweet pineapple and citrus fruit of great purity

alongside a blend of green apple

which means Taittinger’s 2008 is more accessible now than many other 2008

red berry fruit

Inky dark fruit

is often hot

and this appears to be smack in the middle of its prime drinking window based on this bottle (which was more youthful than a bottle from my cellar)

One of Rioja’s signature wines and certainly the most distinctive label from Muga

It produces malt whisky to meet high demand from blenders

this new departure began with the 2004 vintage

complemented by an oily and full texture
