Tasting Notes
Vinous 93-96
The 2023 Haut-Batailley is another impressive wine from this Chateau. There’s plenty of the typical dark fruit and overall breadth that is such a signature, but the tannins show greater finesse than in some prior years a very positive evolution that continues here. Black cherry, plum, lavender, cloves, leather and licorice are all beautifully amplified. The 2023 marks another major step forward for Haut-Batailley.
Anticipated maturity: 2028-2043
Robert Parker 91-93
The 2023 Haut-Batailley is a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot that increasingly resembles its stablemate Lynch Bages in style. Offering up aromas of dark berries, plums, pencil shavings and creamy new oak, it’s medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with plenty of generously extracted, youthfully chewy tannin and a long, lusty finish.
