Description

From a vertical tasting of different vintages of Chateau Batailley in 2011 at Wineanorak.com ….”How did the wines do? After a rather closed 2006, we struck gold with the 2000, which is beautifully expressive. 1996 is even better:….
Château Batailley 1996 Pauillac, Bordeaux
 - Nicely aromatic: fine cherry and berry fruit with subtle green sappy notes. The palate is elegant and expressive with some gravel and mineral characters as well as traces of earth and iodine. Beautiful stuff, drinking very well now. 95/100”

WineSearcher gives it: "Score: 87. When to drink: 2002 to 2025"
Other reports: “Batailley's 1996 is a well-structured, old style Pauillac with a dense ruby/purple color, earthy, cedar-tinged, black currant fruit in the aromatics and flavors, medium body, an excellent mid-palate, good depth, and a moderately tannic, firm, but pure finish. This very good to excellent Batailley will keep for two decades. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2020. 87/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, www.eRobertParker.com”

“The 1996 Batailley is showing very well on the nose with great definition: blackberry, cedar, mint and a touch of truffle, opening nicely with further aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with moderate complexity, relatively foursquare with tobacco and cigar-box infusing the broody black fruits. Nice harmony here although unashamedly foursquare and masculine. now-2018 89/100 Neal Martin, www.erobertparker.com”
