Robert Parker, Jr.'s Wine Advocate: "The 2012 Haut Bailly is a brilliant wine for the vintage. It has a very intense bouquet
with scents of blackberry, bilberry, cedar and a touch of pencil lead. This is very well defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm
tannin, certainly one of the most structured Pessac-Léognan wines that I have encountered, yet it is struck through with wonderful balance and focus. It
tightens up a little on the finish, a 2012 built for long-term drinking pleasure, and as such, I would afford it five or six more years in bottle if wishing
to experience this in full flight. Tasted March 2017. Drink 2022-2045." Jul 2017
Wine Enthusiast: Designated Cellar Selection. "Very firm and closed up, this wine is a tough proposition at the moment. It has the weight to develop well along with richness. Acidity, sweet fruits and concentrated tannins will all come through strongly as the wine matures. Drink from 2020." May 2015
Winery: "Fruity, fresh and dense, the 2012 vintage has tight tannins and expresses the virtuosity of Haut-Bailly."
