Classic BDX . Cassis and thyme on the nose. Cedar and hints of graphite in the background. Lots of acid with medium tannins which shows its youth but also it’s backbone for aging. Fantastic young Bordeaux , great structure and balanced. 13.5% — 19 days ago

Good freshness. Not a bruiser. Nimble with food. Lovely wine for the price. — 12 days ago

Full bodied, dense, deep ruby Bordeaux. On the nose: dark mulberry fruit,cedar, & a touch of eucalyptus/camphor. On the palate: dark fruit, cedar and light tannins. After 40 minutes decanted the tannins recede and the soft fruit is delicious. This wine is fully mature and a terrific offering from Medoc. If you have it or can get it, drink now and enjoy! — a month ago

2009 vintage. Patience! This needs a few hours to open up and show its true potential. Cassis, cedar wood, and flowers. Better the next day. — 11 days ago

Fine wine. Round and soft, seemingly watery on the kid palate but it’s not. Good and intense finish. — 4 days ago

The 1975 Batailley is a vintage poured at a vertical at the Pauillac estate with Frédéric Castèja a few months earlier, but perversely, this bottle shows better. There’s a strong marine influence on the nose, and kelp and crustacea intertwine with slightly rustic but attractive black fruit, austere, compared to recent vintages, albeit typical of that period for Batailley. The palate is gentle, perhaps a little angular, though this bottle exhibited a touch more black fruit on the finish to counterbalance its obdurate tannins, a trope of the 1975 Left Banks. The aforementioned vertical will appear this year. (Neal Martin, Vinous, April 2024)
