Description
Chateau Batailley 5eme Cru Classe Pauillac, Bordeaux, France, Magnum 2014
Grapes: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, 57ha vineyard on gravel soil, 40 year old vines, barrel aged for 18 months (55% new oak).
"The 2014 Batailley has an attractive bouquet, lilting scents of redcurrant and raspberry coulis, quite floral and very precise. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, good depth and body, rounded for Batailley and less austere than usual. It feels closed towards the finish, tight-lipped, but there is certainly grip and presence here. It will require several years in bottle before it can show its true potential, but there is a sense of class to this Batailley that I suspect will become more evident with maturity. Tasted twice with consistent notes." Drink 2022-2045
91+/100 points, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, March 2017
"Mid crimson. Intense cassis and cherry aroma, fragrant with fresh fruit. Darker and more savoury on the palate, with freshness, finesse and fine-grained tannins. Delicious balance and good length." Drink 2020-2030
16.5/20 points, Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, November 2016
