Aromas of sweet berries and flowers lead to a medium body, with a delicate fruit palate, silky tannins and a fresh finish. Best after 2011.

(70% cabernet sauvignon and 30% merlot) Good ruby-red. Ripe aromas of currant, tobacco, cedar and chocolate. Supple, sweet and easygoing, with good fleshy texture but modest intensity and thrust to the dark fruit, chocolate, menthol and cedar flavors. Finishes with slightly dry tannins and a rather soft structure.

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, tiefe Farbe. In der Nase sehr tiefe schwarze Beerenfrucht, Herzkirschen, mineralisch, sehr feine Würze und Mineralik, klassisch. Am Gaumen präsente Tannine, die gut integriert sind, Weichseln klingen an, elegant, feine dunkle Schokonote, im Abgang etwas vegetal, zart nach Orangenschalen, bleibt gut haften.

Epices, bouche ronde, moelleuse, suave, très fondue, longue, savoureuse, belle fraîcheur. Le vin a gagné en pureté et précision depuis quelques millésimes.

Arôme précis de cèdre, vin souple et élégant dans son tannin, mais d’une vinosité moyenne. On a recherché ici la buvabilité plus que l’expression ultime du millésime, et le type de vin aimé des restaurateurs.

Cropped at 46hl/ha, this has a deep garnet/purple core. The nose has moderate intensity although it lacks the precision of the 2006. Blackberries, tinctures of mulberry and fresh tobacco, developing touches of violets with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, quite peppery, the tannins a little brusque at this early juncture, the finish dry and savoury, though lacking the weight and delineation I would like to have seen. A “capable” Haut-Batailley. Tasted April 2008.

70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, Mid claret. Very rich and full and round, Very slightly inky but massive and opulent. A little dry and green on the finish but pretty glamorous. Some freshness. A little chewy. Xavier Borie said the big challenge was to keep freshness.
