Description: Quintessential Bordeaux here from Château Batailley. This is the debut wine of their second label, made from some younger vines along with some fruit that goes into their flagship growth wine. Two thirds Cabernet, a good whack of Merlot and a couple of dashes of Verdot and France. Bordeaux may not be cool, but done well it sure is delicious. They picked a great year to launch this wine as 2015 was stellar. Vinous history!
Tasting Note:
The nose offers ripe blackberry and toasty spice with a touch of minerality. This vintage is Cabernet Sauvignon based, which lends a firm backbone, quality tannins, and a core of blackberry fruit. This wine is surprisingly accessible now and drinking well, but will improve with a year in the bottle.
