Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
The sophomore 2015 Lions de Batailley is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot and represents just over one-third of the total production. I appreciate the nose here, very perfumed and well defined with blackcurrant pastilles, cedar and mint. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin on the entry, a mixture of red and black fruit, smooth in texture with a touch of orange rind and spice toward the finish. This is a fine deuxième vin from Batailley. Score: 89 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2019-2029 01 March 2018 |
