The 2023 Batailley has really come together beautifully since I tasted it en primeur. Silky and potent, Batailley has so much to offer, specifically the way it balances power and finesse. Blackberry, gravel, crushed rocks, lavender, espresso and cloves are some of the many notes that build in the glass. Potent and ample, the 2023 has so much to offer. Batailley is a great example of what Bordeaux does best: turn out wines that remain fairly priced, in volume.

The 2023 Batailley is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs some swirling to coax out notes of blackcurrant jelly, plum preserves, and raspberry leaves followed by hints of rosebud tea, fertile loam, iron ore, and tree bark. The medium-bodied palate is tight-knit and refreshing, with firm fine-grained tannins and beautiful tension supporting the energetic black berry flavors, finishing long and savory. The blend is 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot.
