Château Batailley
Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon
2000: medium Garnet. Showing very smoky, earthy and Brett notes, leather and meat. Lovely developed black fruit notes, good mineral notes. Medium + bodied, well integrated tannin (still slightly grainy) and quite good acid. Has 4-5 years on it. Very good.

In the mouth this has amazing freshness, great acidity and umami notes on the red berry finish, wonderfully drinkable!

Aug 25th, 2018Very smooth, better the day after. Aged wines do lose an edge as the tannins dissipate but very good at 18 years old!
