Chateau Haut-Batailley 2010
Tasting notes
Haut-Batailley 2010 which blend is dominated by the cabernet sauvignon (78%) presents a bright and dark red color. The intense black fruits flavors blow up in the nose, reinforcing the fully ripped grape and keeping in the meantime a pretty freshness.
In the mouth, the attack is progressive, revealing very refined tannins. The unit, of very beautiful structure: precise and balanced, confirms the very beautiful style of this great vintage.
