2009 - Chateau Batailley Pauillac

"Currant and blackberry on the nose, with hints of toasted oak. Full-bodied, with big, chewy tannins. This is the biggest Batailley in years. Lots of improvement here." -Wine Spectator, 92-95 pts.

"The 2009 Batailley should give the 2005 a run for its money. It is a slightly sweeter, richer, softer wine (somewhat atypical for Batailley as it is generally one of the more structured and backward of the Pauillacs) exhibiting a dense purple color as well as notes of smoke, blackberries, cassis, charcoal, and oak. Deep, full-bodied, rich, and already seductive, it should have 25+ years of evolution ahead of it." -Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, 90-92 pts.

Minimum 6 bottles, per type, required for all Futures orders.
