Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Batailley 5eme Cru 2016

96
/100

Smukt, sort greb i næsen. Meget Cabernet med typiske noter af grafit og mørk cassis. Lidt lakrids og mynte. Dyb sort kirsebær i munden. Moden og alligevel udstrålende en god, kraftfuld rustikhed. Karakteristisk et sted mellem Pauillac og Saint Estèphe. God friskhed i munden, høj intensitet. Virkelig forbløffende rig, samtidig poleret i tanninen med stort pres fra mineralsk spænding og denne rige frugt. Sorte kirsebær, moden cassis, derefter fint salt og lidt mørk kakao i eftersmagen. En meget flot Batailley fra denne store årgang.

Suckling om: Chateau Batailley 5eme Cru

Shows beautiful, ripe cabernet aromas with currants, plums, meat and smoke. Flowers, too. Full body, deep and ripe fruit and exquisite, ripe tannins. Flavorful finish. Tight right now, but shows excellent potential. Best ever. Try after 2024.

Wine Enthusiast om: Chateau Batailley 5eme Cru

This wine shows all the power of the vintage, with rich tannins and sumptuous black-currant fruit. A lot of expensive work has gone into bringing this estate up to this level and this excellent bottling is the result. Drink the wine from 2025.

Parker om: Chateau Batailley 5eme Cru

The 2016 Batailley is a blend of 12% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 85% Cabernet Sauvignon cropped at 50h hectoliters per hectare. Matured in 60% new oak. It has an intense graphite infused bouquet with fine delineation, some freshly picked Pauillac mint coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin that grip the mouth insistently; with graphite and tobacco-infused black fruit dominating, this a classically styled Batailley in the vein of previous vintages with the elegance coming through towards the finish. This is one of those wines that grows on you, perhaps not as easy or as charming to taste as other Pauillac 2016s at this stage, but knowing this property well, I know how it can blossom when it matters, which is when you and I drink it.

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.
