Chateau Batailley Pauillac
(Grand Cru Classe) Matured in around 55-60% new oak, very focused, intense bouquet with blackberry, raspberry, cedar & mineral notes, perhaps a little Margaux-like in style as those violets blossom with time in the glass. Palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well-judged acidity, a touch of white pepper here lending edginess, gradually building to a very composed & structured finish.
