  • What the experts say...

    Rubis foncé, le Haut Batailley 1997 est séduisant, souple et faible en acidité. Il dégage au nez des senteurs d'herbes rôties et de cassis, et gratifie le palais de ses arômes moyennement corsé et luxuriants, de ses tannins dépourvus d'agressivité, et une finale neutre et facile.
