Description

TWO lots of TWO bottles.

From their original wooden case and in excellent order - see photos.
Levels: Base of Neck or higher.

Pauillac Fifth Growth Château Batailley represents what is good about Bordeaux: wines that aim at elegance, and achieve this with 10-20 years’ bottle age.
Château Batailley, a Pauillac producer with a reputation for making elegant, typical wines is a 55 hectare property, planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), Merlot (25%), Cabernet Franc (3%) and Petit Verdot (2%), proportions more or less reflected in the blend each year. It is owned by Denise and Emile Castèja of the negociants Borie-Manoux. Their son Philippe Castéja currently runs the show.
Robert Parker’s comments.
“The 1989 has gone into a hard, tannic, tough stage that suggests considerable patience will be necessary. The ruby/purple color is sound, and the bouquet of toasty, smoky oak, chocolate, and super-ripe cassis is followed by a medium-bodied, rich, extracted wine with ferocious tannins and good acidity. This is a large-scale, traditionally styled wine requiring patience.” Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020. Last tasted, 10/2002.


Some Cellar Tracker comments:
• 3/18/2017 - TCARTER LIKES THIS WINE:92 Points
• Still drinking beautifully right now. Not terribly complex but what you'd want from a 28 year old BDX. Medium body. Red fruit, tobacco, hint of cocoa, leather. Probably nearing the end of its line, but has a couple more good years left I think--though perhaps losing some body.
• 2/8/2017 - PAUL D WROTE:
Pauillac at RSJ: Attractive, developed nose showing ripe blackcurrant fruit and a touch of tobacco. Medium/full bodied on the palate, tobaccoey dark fruit, soft tannins, balanced acidity, finishes a touch short but still very good. ***1/2

Drinking well after 2 hours of airing.
12/5/2015 - PSPATRICK WROTE:92 Points
The bottle was in very good condition. I poured the wine into a decanter, had the first glass immediately, poured the remaining wine back into the bottle after about two hours and consumed it over a period of two days. The wine was dark garnet in colour and offered dark fruit, plum, coffee, tobacco, autumn leaves and herbaceous notes on the nose. On the palate the wine showed sweet dark fruit, plum, graphite, tobacco, herbs and Asian spice, with medium to medium-plus acidity, smooth, well-integrated tannin, a velvety mouthfeel and incredible length. The medium-bodied wine was sweetish (if a little dry on the backend) and impeccably smooth and balanced. It had aged well and drank consistently well over two days. At peak, but no need to hurry.
