Château Batailley 2008 Barrel sample (Pauillac)

Country: France / Barrel sample
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Château Batailley / Pauillac

88-90 Barrel sample. Ripe, but firm wine, its blackcurrant freshness tucked into stark tannins. Black plum juice gives both acidity and sweetness. The final is a balanced wine, lifted by spice.
