Forward ripe Cabernet fruit. Nice freshness with fine rounded tannins. Very attractive with some coffee and smoky spice on the finish. Lovely balance. Proper Pauillac - a gentleman`s claret! Always represents great value for money. 92-94 points. (Unc 05/04/11)

We are in full on classic Pauillac territory here, sculpted and balanced juicy blackcurrant and bilberry fruits, great lift on the finish, one of best value wines of the tasting, sleek tannins, studded with freshly cut herbs and charcoal. For a long time the 2009 was the best of the two vintages at Batailley, but the 2010 is now taking the lead. 55% new oak for ageing, Philippe Casteja owner. 96 points
