A big and juicy red with blueberry, cassis and chocolate character. Full and velvety with lovely purity. Wonderful ripeness of tannin. Cabernet sauvignon here.

The 2014 Batailley has an attractive bouquet, lilting scents of redcurrant and raspberry coulis, quite floral and very precise. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, good depth and body, rounded for Batailley and less austere than usual. It feels closed towards the finish, tight-lipped, but there is certainly grip and presence here. It will require several years in bottle before it can show its true potential, but there is a sense of class to this Batailley that I suspect will become more evident with maturity. Tasted twice with consistent notes..

Dark crimson. Attractively intense pencil-shavings and graphite nose. Sweet start and has less concentration than some. A relatively early-maturing Pauillac. There is some tannins but not in huge register. Falls away rather on the finish.

Tasted blind. Deep smudgy garnet. Lifted leafy black fruit. Very leafy, even minty. On the palate, that leafiness becomes a lean impression, the tannins then rather dry on the finish. Starts well but runs out of fruit at the end. (JH)
