Chateau Haut Bailly Bordeaux 2005 Vintage Les Plantes aux Bois andThe 2005 Haut Bailly, is dense purple with loads of graphite, earth, spice, blackberry and blueberry fruit, beautiful balance, medium to full body, and stunning purity, texture and length. Still incredibly young at age 10, this wine is set for 30 or more years of longevity. This is a great, great Haut Bailly that will one day probably rival 2009 and 2010. Robert Parker
