Tasting Notes
Neal Martin 95
The 2016 Batailley has a glorious bouquet with mint-tinged black fruit, a little more flamboyant than its peers, yet very pure fruit, very intense and delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, slightly grainy tannins. A firm backbone, gentle grip, yet it fans out beautifully whilst maintaining precision and poise. Superb. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2029-2060
Wine Advocate 92
The 2016 Haut Batailley has a deep garnet-purple color and aromas of baked redcurrants, red plums and cassis with asphalt, fried herbs and earth. The palate is medium-bodied, firm and chewy with an earthy finish.
Anticipated maturity: 2019-2033
