Château Batailley
Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon
Pauillac, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
No formal notes . Medium ruby , quite thin ruby garnet hued rim. This shows grafite , cassis and quite classic character , touch of spicy oak, quite cool and refined . Cool cassis , grafite notes, good balance, fresh acidity and fine but noticeable tannins , touch of spicy oak on the finish . This is classic and elegant in style, with cool fruits and mineral notes. Not a big wine but well balanced . Drinking well now and probably over the next 10 years . The second bottle is a little different , a little more roasted and oaky , touch more advanced , but balanced still and enjoyable . Relatively good value pick I would imagine in most places … less so here in Dubai

Sep 6th, 2025Very open & enticing.
Ripe black currant, cassis, some pot pouri, a bit of cedar wood. But there’s also savoury gravel type minerality.
On the palate this is perfectly balanced - medium bodied, with beautiful juicy, velvety tannins. So fine & polished. Creamy black fruit. So poised & elegant.
Drinking beautifully right now!
