The second wine of this estate, the 2023 Haut-Batailley Verso checks in as 63% Merlot and 37% Cabernet Sauvignon that was aged 12 months in once-used barrels. Very floral and complex, it has lots of violets, spring flowers, smoky tobacco, and both red and black fruits defining its aromatics. It's medium-bodied, fresh, layered, and focused on the palate, with considerable charm and elegance. I love its tannins and overall juicy style, and it will shine for 15 years if well stored. Drink 2026-2040.
