Slightly fresher & more exotic be the Batailley.
Black fruit galore, cedar wood, minty whiffs, exotic spice.
Soft & quite mellow on the palate. Yet fresh. The tannins are so finely grained & juicy - dusty, sandy fine. Poised, so elegant, classic Bordeaux. Great mid palate, nice length & depth. This is probably at a perfect drinking window right now. So delightful. — 5 months ago
July 2021. Purchased at the Chateau May 2016. Second label Marquis de Terme. Although 2011 wasn’t a stellar vintage, this wine was quite lovely. Black fruit, balanced tannins. Wonderful complexity. — 3 years ago
