Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 27 Feb 24
The 2021 Batailley is quite the powerhouse. Even so, it offers fine balance. Broad tannins enshroud a core of dark-toned fruit, licorice, spice, black olive, lavender and sage. Batailley is a rare 2021 that is going to need time to come together. Its intensity, breadth and overall persistence are impressive. There's real textural resonance here, not to mention tons of character.

Stands out in the appellation, with density through the mid palate, and Pauillac signature coming through in the pencil lead, graphite and cassis notes. This is a good quality wine with a touch of blackcurrant bud and earth reflecting the cooler temperatures of the year, but plenty of depth and ageing potential. Tasted twice.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 29 Apr 22
The 2021 Batailley shows promise, exhibiting aromas of cassis, plums, licorice, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and dark chocolate, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and charming palate built around ripe, powdery tannins. Supple and giving, it will offer a broad drinking window.

Tasted blind. Looks relatively evolved. Hint of charcoal on the nose. Sweet and juicy and a little simple, but easy to like in the relatively short term. Not fighting the vintage and held up well in the glass. Energetic. (JR)
