The 2019 Haut Maillet is a powerful, heady wine. Muscular tannins wrap around a core of dense, dark red fruit. Cabernet Franc aromatics and structure give Haut Maillet much of its distinctive personality. Today, Haut Maillet is one of the most reticent Pomerols of the vintage, and yet it has tons of potential. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
This is a very balanced and refined red with blueberry and chocolate character. Hints of walnuts. It’s medium to full bodied, firm and polished. - James Suckling
Tight cassis and bilberry fruits, shavings of dark chocolate on the finish that stray towards bitter tannins. This has presence and a firm frame but struggles to break free of its frame. Same owner as La Cabanne, François Estager. Drinking Window 2023 - 2035 - Jane Anson, Decanter
The 2019 Haut Maillet is medium to deep garnet-purple in color, offering up notes of stewed black cherries, plum preserves and baked blackberries with hints of cast-iron pan and chargrill. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers just enough black fruit flavors with a chewy texture and lively finish. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate
