JAMES SUCKLING: ” A very cabernet-driven red with currants, light cedar, vanilla and flowers. It’s full-bodied, tight and powerful. Impressive finish. Classic. 74% cabernet sauvignon, 25% merlot and 1% petit verdot.”
DECANTER: ” More Pauillac character than the Lynch Moussas, this is where you get the characteristic slate, pencil lead and menthol against the beautiful rich cassis and a confident tannic frame. I’ve had a number of 2009 and 2010 vintages of Batailley recently that have totally sung at 10 years old and you can easily see that this vintage will deliver the same enjoyment. – Jane Anson”
FALSTAFF: “Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Frische Herzkirschfrucht, feines Cassis ist unterlegt, ein Hauch von Edelholz, feine tabakige Nuancen. Saftig, reife Pflaumenfrucht, kraftvoll, zart nussig-röstiger Touch im Abgang, mineralisch, ein Hauch von Karamell im Finale. – Peter Moser”
