Notes of tobacco, pencil shavings, earth, and blackberry. Noticeable acidity keeps it lively.

Decanted for 3 hours. Before decanting, the wine was very closed. From my point of view, the 3 hours were perfect. With enough air, the 2010 Chateau Haut-Bailly is already great to drink and surprisingly accessible. A great wine. 94+ pts. at the moment.

Been a while since my last bottle. Two hour double decant, then over to HMCs for Easter dinner of prime rib and enjoyed over 3 more hours of air from the bottle. My last bottle almost 2 years ago was a 98. Not so, this time. It's very good, don't get me wrong. It's seamless from front to back but in a phase where it's just holding back a bit.
Dark garnet in the glass. Nose predominantly of graphite, red fruit and a bit of earthy notes with mild cigar box.
Palate is smooth dark red fruit.....more graphite and ? Lacking just a bit of the class and depth of the last bottle. Since this one is a 100 year wine, I'm assuming it's going to go through numerous phases from here on out. I'll keep opening one every couple of years to see where it's at. It's quite good now, but nowhere near its peak.

Yes this wine obviously has years and years to go. But why wait?! Drinking now, you get fruit and a bit of tertiary / maturity. Wait any longer and the fruit goes. No time like the present. A top top wine.

Opened it along with a Korean BBQ at Yoon. It was an easy wine to drink but felt almost too simple and monotone. Little bit like I am having a Napa cab.
