Note di degustazione
Mid crimson. Lightweight, low-key nose. Sweet start and then a bit of acidity and some rather green tannins. Pretty astringent finish. Maybe with a bit more time this will blossom? (JR)

A bit dusty on the nose and lightish in terms of body. Slightly tart on the end. Slightly meagre but certainly 'classic'. Falls away a bit fast. (JR)
Blackish and dense. Sweet and rather voluptuous – especially for a 1996! You could already enjoy this, although it is nervy and should improve. (JR)
Savoury, almost cheesey, nose. Minty cassis hints too. Rather an old-fashioned wine – no concessions to tannin management. Authentic Pauillac but some will find the dustiness offputting but there is lots of integrity here. (JR)

It was on the site of Batailley in 1453 that one of the final battles (or “batailles”) of the Hundred Years’ War took place. Today owned by the Castéja family, the Fifth Growth is renowned for producing wine that is the epitome of classic Claret.
