I found the nose of the '89 Château Haut-Batailley Red Bordeaux to be quite herbal, with some forest floor, licorice and muted dark fruit aromas. It was full-bodied, but still velvety with a sweet aftertaste. Nice enough, but I would not cellar much longer.

Purchased it on its release and brought it with me from Wisconsin back in 1999. The wine is holding out but at the tail end, pepper, bell pepper, leather. Lovely soft finish.
