Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 30 Jun 17
Tasted at a vertical tasting at the château. The 2006 Haut Batailley is a wine that I have always appreciated and at ten years of age, I have no reason to change that view. It has a such a lively and vivacious bouquet, especially when compared to the sultrier (if ultimately superior 2005 Haut-Batailley). The palate is underpinned by very fine tannin, the acidity quite noticeable but simply lending freshness and tension. There is a sense of this being a Pauillac that is tightly coiled and there is a lot of energy on the finish. This is a great success for the vintage, but if you can wait another couple of years, it should manifest more intriguing secondary notes and turn into a more interesting Pauillac. Tasted July 2016.

Good dark, bright red. Aromas of currant, smoke, minerals, licorice and dried flowers. Suave on entry, then supple and sweet in the middle, with Pauillac-typical flavors of currant, iron, fresh herbs and tobacco leaf. An understated wine, dry but not austere. Today a peppery element shortens the wine's finish.

Glowing dark ruby. Aromatic, sweet and toasty on the nose. Well balanced though a little dry and without massive concentration. Easy claret but no socks will be knocked off. Some tannin still in evidence. (JR)
