Château Haut Batailley, 5ème Cru Classé, Pauillac, 2016
Again, Xavier Borie has waved his magic wand over the barrels at Haut Batailley. This perennial overachiever hits all the right notes in 2008. Good liquid mineral nose. Very classic notes of cassis, pencil shavings and flowers. This has ample concentration; it is fresh, sophisticated Claret with complex notes of licorice, cherry liqueur and berry fruit. The 2008 is a real triumph - exceptionally well made with surprising length of flavours.
critic reviews
The 2016 Haut-Batailley was tasted from two bottles, the first showing a touch of TCA. The second has an airy and well-defined bouquet of blackberry, graphite and subtle floral aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins and very classic in style, displaying impressive grip. I appreciate the substance toward the finish, and the pencil lead lingering on the aftertaste. This is an outstanding Haut-Batailley. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting.
