Chateau Haut-Bailly 2009 Forførende Bordeaux med bøttevis av sjarm. Full body med nok frukt til å føde en liten landsby. Dette er en vin alle liker. Kantfri dyp smoothie som drikker nydelig. Er nok stuffing her til å ligge sidelengs i en evighet. Meget lang finish med helt fine tanniner. Et lite bitt for å markere at de er her. Nydelig. 94p+

Double decanted and then slo oxed for 4 hours. On the nose black and blue fruits with wet earth. Palate full bodied and layered. Tannins are fine. Long finish. Will be very long lived wine.

2009 vintage

Dekantert lenge. 2 små glass dag 1. Pen allerede. Men balansen er mer på plass, frukten er herligere, så også summen av det hele, sel om den nok er ung.

Lunch 2025.6 (Bistro Rex) : A deep and densely hued ruby colour. Aromas of blackcurrant, mulberries, tobacco leaf and a whiff of graphite. Full bodied, balanced and with great intensity it washes the palate with spicy dark fruits, mint, tobacco and fresh dug earth flavours. The finish is long, rich and firm with the graphite showing again within the generous tannins. Ripe, contemporary yet retaining its underlying Graves personality 19.

2009 vintage

dark ruby colored with a tawn on vigorous swirl and a bit of tawn on edge but very subtle. Nose was subdued compared to margaux wines. when you can whip the nose up you get a dark fruit, pipe tobacco, hints of ester that give that wondrous bordeaux insight; I get a touch of vinyl (band aid) type smell which I love. The initial taste is underwhelming, better at 2 hours decant. Overall the taste remained dominated by alcohol over …

2009 vintage

Delicious. Classic.

2009 vintage

Clear bright red. Outstanding nose, red berries, mineral, a bit of oak and hints of cedar. Dry delicious earthy red fruit flavours and a long dry finish. Very good with a bit of upside.

2009 vintage

Delicious. Mature but still years in this beauty. Tastes like 94, but the nose not that interesting. 92p

2009 vintage

Lovely wine. Enjoying on a Monday night! Nose of cassis, menthol. Nice mouth feel and finish.

2009 vintage

Last time I tried this wine, it was 2020. Five years later, this wine is still rockin well with great purity of fruit and a nice finish. Well balanced. Decanted for 3 hours. I would say it is drinking at is peak but still has life left: perhaps another 3 to 5 years but I prefer my Bordeaux without tertiary notes in general. I was a fan of the wine in 2020 and still a fan in 2025! The 2009 …

2009 vintage

Everything is nice in this wine; nose, balance, acid, fruit, and tannins, all still integrating on its path towards something special. Wonderful lift and freshness. At Tim and Katie's.

2009 vintage

This wine benefited from a couple of hours in the decanter and delivered aromatics of red fruit, cassis, earth, cow hide, smoke and a whiff of alcohol in the background. Medium-weight with a bit of astringency leading to a medium length high-toned finish. An excellent counterfoil to some medium-aged hard cheese.

Howard’s Easter brunch

2009 vintage

Really dont know. Decanted for 6-7 hours. Just not that open and alcohol ? Disappointed ....more time needed ? Over decanted ? I dont think I have enjoyed one 2009 yet :(

2009 vintage

Consistent with most of the notes. Definitely benefits from air (decanted 2 hours). Tar, leather, thyme, some tobacco notes. Well balanced tannins.

2009 vintage

The wine only slightly rolls up its curtain after 2-3 hours in decanter, and closed down again 2 hours later. Consistent with most of the 2009 I have tasted in recent 2 years: they are not ready, or just not as good as I expected. Deep ruby. Cherry, plum, preserved hawthorn, graphite, komatsuna, and cooked celery. Medium bodied, grippy tannin, with some bitterness and spiciness in the back. Finish is long but simple. Too woody for me.

2009 vintage

while not special, this bottle showed better than previous ones with tamer, smoother tannins, a nose that reveals itself with some coaxing, and muted fruit with minerality. 89-ish pts

2009 vintage

An hour decant and this showed aromatics of red and dark fruit, smoke, earth and spice. Medium-weight palate with secondary fruit and some astringency on a medium-length finish. A very enjoyable wine that would seem to have another 5 or so good years of drinking ahead.

2009 vintage

Starting to dry out. Drink up.

2009 vintage

Paul brought it to J’s dinner. It was l lovely wine to enjoy now.

2009 vintage

Opened for 6h slow oxidation as suggested by earlier post. Beautiful nose shut down almost immediately thereafter, spices, pepper. Red fruit and tannins are maybe 3/4 integrated, I reckon this is peaking if not plateauing. 6h later and it was still closed. Oh well... I will decant the other bottle... lesson learnt

2009 vintage

Double decanted for 2 hours before drinking, and it probably could have used another 1-2 more. Wine has beautiful dark garnet color, nice classic old world bordeaux bouquet that improved with tome in the glass. The wine has tasty dark and red fruit, the tannins are still there but quite smooth. Finish is long and tasty. Not a huge wine, but very good and will improve with another 3-5+ years.

2009 vintage

Chateau Haut Bergey 2009 Quite woody on the nose and on the palate: I think it needs more air or more time. Pretty firm and tight. Dense. 89/100

2009 vintage

3 hr decant of a magnum. Still in its youth but drank very well.

2009 vintage

Good, well aged wine. Fruit and tannin gone. Enjoyed with guests.

2009 vintage

Magnum. Drinking so well right now. Elegant and fruit forward, with lovely secondary notes of pepper and spice.

2009 vintage

This was great but either it needs longer than 2 hours in a decanter to hit the same highs I’ve had with it before or 09 isn’t shaping up like I thought it might. Bottles all cellared properly. Hold the next 5. Had an 09 la parde alongside it which wasn’t as objectively good but shared similarities and was very likeable. Hold the last 1.

2009 vintage

another lackluster showing for this wine. This bottle was a bit better after about 4 hours in the decanter. Not much nose, modest fruit, drying tannins on the finish. FWIW, this was purchased on futures from a reputable retailer, and properly cellared.

2009 vintage

No points; there was, for me, something odd in the bouquet and the taste of this wine. The wine had a deep colour, dark fruit, a good midtaste, good bitters and firm tannins, but again that 'odd' element, that gave a sharper impression.

2009 vintage

Haven't had a bottle in 5+ years. Kind enough for Agelvis, my host to open one tonight for our event at his place. 3 hour decant was nice but didn't do it full service. Yes, the barnyard was completely gone but the wine itself needed every bit of 6-7 hours to really strut its stuff on both nose and palate. Dark garnet in the glass. Nose initially of tilled black soil and not much else. Palate initially of graphite and …

2009 vintage

Three hour decant. Deep dark gritty ruby magenta color. Blackberry, earth, cinnamon-infused cherry, molasses, and subtle apple peel. Smooth, dry palate. Quite firm tannins on the longish finish. Classic higher end Bordeaux. This kept improving over seven hours. Not necessarily my style, but so well made. This was Mark1NPT’s wine of the night, perhaps tied with a ‘21 Vice Versa LPV. Couldn’t have two more different Cab-based reds. Fun night.

2009 vintage

Restrained, tannic, acidic without fruit profile and freshness typical of HB. I'm sure it will open over time but is not ready yet (3 hour decant).

2009 vintage

Still too early to drink. Nose is very closed and didn’t open up even after 4 hours. Wait another 3-5years

2009 vintage

Parker 100 Pointer Lunch, tasted blind : Deep, rich aromas of forest floor, very Left Bank, good palate presence, creamy, blue and black berries. Wonderful balance of aroma and tannins, I preferred this to the also very good Vietti next to it.

100 Point Parker Dinner (Weinkongress): Blind tasting. No detailed notes. My Ranking: 1 out of 9 / Group Ranking: 2 out of 9 Points: 97+

2009 vintage

Part of a small BYO 100 Parker point blind tasting. Decanted. Amazing bed of sous-bois with blue berries, red and black berries. Perfect point of extraction. Minor tobacco and leather add-ons. Also sweet spice. The palate fresh, but not fully integrated with slightly mouthcoating tannin. This 2009 is evolving nicely and has further to go.

2009 vintage

Similar to my tasting note from 2022. This wine continues to improve with age. It now tastes like how the 2000 vintage tasted at its peak. While still early maturity with loads of fruit, this is a beautiful Bordeaux through and through.

2009 vintage

Really enjoyed this bottle, delicate, sophisticated, well balanced. Think this is in its drinking window with a long life ahead. Really enjoying the 09 Bordeaux’s right now.

2009 vintage

Still lots of fruit while tertiary aromas have clearly stared to develop. Very round and hedonistic. Nevertheless relatively fresh! Probably at peak. Great effort and pqr.

2009 vintage

Very open and opulent but not extracted at all and nice balance. 93

2009 vintage

Solid but not to my liking.

2009 vintage

Deep ruby, still very youthful looking. Ripe black plum and cherries, developing earthy notes with beautifully integrated tannins. Drinking beautifully and keeps giving new perspectives as it shifts in glass.

2009 vintage

Bought on release. 6h slow-ox This wine is the poster child for decanting wine. Completely closed upon opening, I was already wondering if I needed to try to sell the rest I own on auction. It took about 2h to open and I served it at 6h. It is old style, even for Graves. Masculine, leather, earth with a little sweet fruit in the early finish, which is moderate in length. More fruit with longer decants...a few others have mentioned …

2009 vintage

Nase: intensives, komplexes Bouquet, ledrig, etwas rauchig Gaumen: vollmundig und kraftvoll, lebendige Säurestruktur, reife Tannine und gut eingebunden, samtige Textur, langer und leicht herber Abgang, was die Komplexität des Weins unterstreicht. Bei wiederholtem Probieren bleibt der Wein ausgewogen und harmonisch, mit einer anhaltenden Intensität Fazit: Der Château Haut-Bergey 2009 bestätigt seinen Ruf, ein hervorragendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis zu bieten. Trotz der natürlichen Preissteigerung über die Jahre bleibt er eine attraktive Wahl für Liebhaber von Bordeaux-Weinen. Der aktuelle Marktpreis reflektiert die anerkannte Qualität …

2009 vintage

Recently found a forgotten bottle of this stuff in my cellar. Beautifull mature wine. Last week I got the chance to obtain at the Amsterdam Winefields auction a full case for the moderate price of € 18 per bottle. After opening the carton box a horrible smell of wet dog rose up. Just poured a first glass by using my Coravin. I smells perfect and so does it taste. Tannins perfectly integretaded and nicely sticking to the palate, graphite, leather, …

2009 vintage

This developed into a very decent wine. Initially it wasn't very special but after an hour decant the wine opened up and the fruit came out. Short to medium finish.

2009 vintage

Very mineral nose. Good balance and length. Bit dirty, like a touch of whole bunch or something, which I did not enjoy. Tannins still very strong - can probably go much longer. Was finally starting to look better after 4-5 hours of air.

2009 vintage

Beautiful bouquet on the nose! Lots of berries and stone fruit. Smooth taste with slate , tobacco and leather with an excellent long finish

2009 vintage

Very nice right out of the bottle. Excellent body and depth with great balance.
