The Château Haut-Batailley 2013 is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot picked from 2 to 10 October at 31hl/ha. It has a light and slightly leafy bouquet with touches of bay leaf and undergrowth. It is missing a little vigour at this stage. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline character on the entry (like Lynch Bages). It gains cohesion towards the finish, remaining resolutely 'classic' in style with a nice touch of austerity lingering on the aftertaste.

Black berries and mintiness on the nose. Very pretty wine. Some blueberry and red cherry fruit depth and good grip on the toasty finish. Score: 87 - 89 Albany Vintners, - Date: 01 April 2014 |

A firm, juicy wine with iron, mineral and spice character. Medium body with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Clean and pretty. Pure and linear. Score: 88 - 89 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Date: 01 April 2014 |

A racy, slightly high-pitched style, with red currant, blood orange and floral notes, lined with a bright iron accent that holds sway on the austere finish. Score: 87 - 90 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Date: 01 April 2014 |

The 2013 Haut Batailley wraps around the palate with lovely depth and nuance. A layered, resonant wine, the 2013 impresses for its depth and overall balance. Black cherry, plum, dark spices and menthol add the final layers of complexity on the nuanced finish. This is a gorgeous wine with tons of near and medium-term appeal. Score: 88 - 91 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Date: 01 April 2014 |

76% Cabernet Sauvignon 24% Merlot. Ripe, juicy cassis, sappy oak but well integrated. Finely ground tannin that really grips the finish. Fine, traditional Pauillac, with lovely balance and good persistence. (17+) Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, Richard Hemming, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2017-2027 Date: 01 April 2014 |
