Succulent and quite round with a lovely soft mouthfeel. It is supported with soft, easy vanilla tannins and has a well-structured, elegant, creamy finish in the fruit. (6 x 1.5 Litres)
Lovely glossy colour, which still has a very youthful hue. A open and attractive nose, with mineral, iron-edged bloody fruit. Undeniably left bank claret. Full bodied and slightly austere on entry, with a firmly structured presence showing plenty of peppery tannin through the midpalate and finish. Slightly soft acidity but no lack of grip, and drinks well with food because of that. Chateau Batailley, apart from the quality of its wine, has another claim to fame (6 x 75 cl)
