Tasting Notes
Antonio Galloni 92
The 2018 Haut-Batailley has come together well. Plump and juicy in feel, the 2018 possesses quite a bit of creaminess in its inky dark fruit, chocolate, spice and leather. The new oak is prominent at this stage. Even so, this is nicely done and promising.
Anticipated maturity: 2024-2038
Neal Martin 91
The 2018 Haut-Batailley has a delightful bouquet with blackberry, wild strawberry, cedar and light tobacco scents, easily handling the precocity of the growing season. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a little savory in style and quite focused toward the finish. This is very fine, although I actually err toward the previous vintage.
Anticipated maturity: 2024-2040
