plus a hint of sweet butter

Highlights how sure and confident was the winemaking at Haut-Bailly ten years on from Bob Wilmers arrival

Here too there is a lovely sense of energy and punch to the muscular but not really rustic broad-shouldered flavors that also possess very good if not sensational mid-palate concentration before culminating in a balanced and palate coating finish

brawn and old-style classicism

I imagine it will still be fabulous at age 30

Smith Woodhouse, Vintage other_regions plus a hint of sweetDark blackish purple. Rich, soft, black cherries. Very very sweet and powerful and alcoholic, so much so that it is quite difficult to even discern the tannins but they are there. Is this just a bit too brutal and raw? It is extremely young but it does have all the ingredients there.
