Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Batailley 5eme Cru 2009

95
/100

74 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 22 % Merlot, 2 % Cabernet Franc, 2 % Petit Verdot. Sort. Kraftig næse af tjære og goudron, en fed Barolo? Jern, moden blomme, brombær, jod. Ikke forventet, men meget fin og interessant. Stor entré i munden, fin og rasende, ekstremt poleret, superfine og polerede tanniner, vinen vibrerer af sort frugt, kirsebær og solbær, stor længde med en fin spændingsbue og løb, meget inspirerende og finesserig Pauillac med en lang, legende, fin finish, betagende med sin utrolige elegance. Ikke en kæmpe, men en arketypisk skønhed, der slutter sig til rækken af de smukke klassikere Haut Bages Liberal og Grand Puy Lacoste. Smuk som denne.

Jane Anson om: Chateau Batailley 5eme Cru

This is one of my secret weapon wines, that I know will make everybody happy when it is served. Signature Pauillac, generous but still with muscular tannins, loaded up with pencil lead, slate, cassis, cedar and mint leaf, with waves of liquorice and rose aromatics that keep you coming back for more. Ready to drink but with life ahead of it. Drink 2022-2036.

Parker om: Chateau Batailley 5eme Cru

The finest Batailley I have had in many years, the dense purple-colored 2009 exhibits a boatload of tannin as well as sweet, caramelized, black currant fruit intermixed with hints of charcoal, cedarwood and smoke, a full-bodied mouthfeel and the aforementioned high, but sweet, well-integrated tannin displaying no jaggedness. Batailley often requires considerable patience as it can be one of the longest-lived Pauillacs. Atypically for Batailley, the 2009 should be ready to drink in 5-7 years and keep for three decades.

Neal Martin om: Chateau Batailley 5eme Cru

Tasted at the château. The Batailley was great out of barrel and is great in bottle. The nose has superb precision, not immensely powerful but very refined and focused, redolent of its neighbour Grand Puy Lacoste. The palate is very composed with succulent tannins, very refined with a spicy, vibrant finish that is filled with joy. Excellent. Tasted November 2011.

Wine Enthusiast om: Chateau Batailley 5eme Cru

Big, spicy wood, packed with dense, wood and fruit tannins. The wood is over a base of broad fruit, sweet blackberries and ripeness.

Decanter om: Chateau Batailley 5eme Cru

This wine showed exceptionally well, both at the the Bordeaux 10 Years On tasting in London a few weeks ago and in the Decanter Premium tasting in New York. It’s great value for this level of Pauillac.

Suckling om: Chateau Batailley 5eme Cru

Currant and blackberry on the nose, with hints of toasted oak. Full-bodied, with big, chewy tannins. This is the biggest Batailley in years. Lots of improvement here.

Min vinmager

Batailley

En balancegang mellem gammeldags smag og pragmatisme, harmoni og kraft, pris og præstation. Batailley er overbevisende på alle niveauer og klarer denne balancegang som næppe nogen anden vingård på venstre bred.
