| Tasting note |
A reasonably successful wine for this vintage that is showing more of a St.-Julien elegance without the typical power of Pauillac, the wine has a dark plum/ruby color, a slightly earthy, herb-tinged, raspberry and black currant-scented nose, silky tannins, medium body, and a pleasant finish. Drink it over the next decade. By Robert Parker, Apr 2005.
Tasted blind at Farr's 2002 Bordeaux tasting. The Haut-Batailley displays blackberry, graphite and tobacco-scented nose, which compared to others lacks some definition and lift. There is ripeness here, but a touch of greenness too. Medium-bodied on the palate with a bitter entry, sharp, slightly aggressive tannins with chewy red fruits on the finish. Tasted October 2009.
