Batailley Vintage:2021 with additional purity and focus

with additional purity and focus

and the flavors are pungent and powerful

perhaps a riper and more powerful wine than the 2016

the individual lots were simply deemed to harmonize well with one another and amalgamated

Batailley Vintage:2021 with additional purity and focusThe 1995 Batailley offers dusty black fruit on the nose, melted tar and graphite emerging with time. Personally, I would like more fruit for it comes across a little too austere. The palate is medium bodied with light blackberry, a little tough in the middle. Age has not softened this Batailley and it still feels unapologetically foursquare on the finish. Not bad, but it does not feel as if it is going anywhere interesting. Tasted at the chteau. Neal
