2010 Château Batailley - 5. Cru Classé Pauillac
Rene Gabriel [WeinWisser #05/2011]:
Ertrag: 36 hl/ha. Sattes Purpur-Granat. Viel reife Brombeeren in der ausladenden Nase, fast etwas buttrig, mit Süsse verleihendem Edelholztouch. Lebendiger Gaumenbeginn, gut stützende Säure, Vanillemark, dunkle Brotnoten, schwarze Pflaumen und ein Hauch Zimt im Innern, zeigt eine tolle Konzentration und viel schwarzen Beeren im langen, aromatischen Finale, geniales Potenzial. Der beste Batailley-Primeur, den ich je verkostet habe. Liegt nahe bei 19/20 und kann diese auch in 10 Jahren erreichen.
18/20 Punte - Trinken: 2016–2032
A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon (compared to 74% in 2009), 19% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc cropped at 36hl/ha. Philippe Casteja said that they picked quite late, the last Cabernet coming in on the 19th October (about three days later than in 2009.) The alcohol level comes in at 13.5 degrees. The Batailley ’10 has quite a creamy, sensual bouquet with macerated black fruits, a touch of crushed raspberry and a hint of vanilla pod. The definition is very fine. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, tensile tannins, a very good sense of symmetry that was discovered with the 2009, with the vintages telltale signs of graphite on the long finish. Very impressive. Quintessential Pauillac. Tasted April 2011.
93-95/100 Punkte
Elegant crushed rock, red and black currant, spice box and earth notes result in a classic Pauillac to smell and taste. Dark ruby/purple-colored, slightly austere because of the robust tannins, beautifully pure and built for the long haul, patience of 5-7 years will be required and this 2010 should keep for 25+ years.
