Vinous 88 / 100 par Antonio Galloni le 24/02/2022 The 2019 Verso de Haut-Batailley is a charming, easygoing second wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Bright red cherry fruit, plum, lavender, spice and tobacco open nicely with some coaxing.
Vinous 91 / 100 par Neal Martin le 17/02/2022 The 2019 Verso de Haut-Batailley, which I did not taste last year, has a perfumed bouquet of mint-tinged black fruit and a touch of graphite in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with pencil lead notes on the entry. This Deuxième Vin is endowed with splendid concentration. Classic in style, with just a touch of black pepper toward the finish. Well worth seeking out.
