  • What the experts say...

    Par bien des aspects, ce vin caractérise Batailley et le style de vinification de la propriété. Rubis foncé, il dégage un bouquet légèrement boisé de fruits mûrs, manquant quelque peu de complexité. L'ensemble, trapu et charnu, doté de tannins fermes, révèle une excellente concentration et un caractère monolithique. Source : Robert Parker (6/87)
