  La robe est profonde, dense. L'aromatique témoigne de la richesse du millésime figue et prunes, cuir et sous-bois. La complexité pourrait être plus grande mais c'est très plaisant.
  Attaque veloutée, à nouveau marquée par la richesse avec un ensemble très souple et enveloppant. La densité est absolument remarquable, cela devait être quelque chose en jeunesse !
  La finale marque le pas, un peu trop monotone et avec une longueur correcte mais pas plus !
  
  Pas le meilleur des Haut-Bailly bus mais quelle matière incroyable !

  Very deep robe, very 1959. A bit of sur-maturite on the fruit, round, smokey, very tertiary now, autumnal, soft, mellow. Medium intensity. Not particularly distinctive on the palate. From a Belgian bottling with a high shoulder fill and a good cork.

  Very deep mature colour, Very mature, musty minty bouquet.
  Enormous, full bodied minty taste, fantastic layers with coffee, mocha, warm fruit and perfectly rounded tannins and incredible length. One of the best Bordeaux I have ever had. My guess was something from 1961.
