    Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Haut-Batailley comes tearing out with eager-to-please scents of blackberry pie and warm cassis followed by suggestions of lavender, tree bark, and black olives. The medium-bodied palate is soft and approachable, with plenty of freshness and a chalkiness to the finish. The blend is 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot, with pH 3.69 and TPI 87.

    Delivering elegance and finesse, this showcases why Haut-Batailley is so different in personality from Lynch Bages in this stable of wines, with a fragrant violet and peony note that takes it almost into St Julien, while slowly building the tannins that root it in Pauillac. Smoke, campfire and slate mix with blackberry and bilberry fruits. 65% new oak for ageing

    The 2023 Haut Batailley was picked from 14 September and matured in 65% new oak. It has a harmonious and focused bouquet with blackberry, graphite and iris flower scents. The oak here is neatly integrated. It's actually stylistically not dissimilar to the Mouton Rothschild! The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins—quite rounded in the mouth, but there is backbone here. A subtle white pepper note mixes with pencil shavings on the classically styled finish, completing this refined Pauillac.
