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 Score: 89 - 91 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate |

Toasty oak on the nose and on the palate. It’s unusual to see the oak this much on the 2010s. Underneath is quite juicy and fluid. On the lighter side with a dry freshness on the end. Score: 16 - 17 Julia Harding MW, Jancisrobinson.com Maturity: 2017-2027 |

Deep, slightly smoky cassis fruit and a touch of violets, full rather meaty flavours, both roundness and depth from this very reliable château. Score: 17 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2018-2028 |

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. Score: 93 - 95 Neal Martin, erobertparker.com |

Closed nose. Great range of aromatics followed by good depth of meaty but lively fruit content. Big and structured with a firm but appealing texture. Very Pauillac. Recommended. Score: 92 - 94 Albany Vintners |
