Ratings By Robert Parker 88 Tasting Notes Readers should be aware that this is a wine I underrated in my original report on the 1998 vintage. It is performing better out of bottle than it did from cask. With age, the mid-section has filled out and the wine has put on weight. A deep plum/garnet… Read More »

Ratings By Robert Parker 88 Tasting Notes Earthy, autumnal, vegetative notes intermixed with sweet cola, black cherry, and black currant are present in this dense purple-colored wine. Firm tannins are present, but the wine has excellent fruit, depth, and texture. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2022.(Wine Advocate #181 Feb 2009) By Robert Parker

Ratings By Robert Parker 88 Tasting Notes Black currant, licorice, damp earth, moss, and fresh porcini mushroom characteristics emerge from this dark plum/ruby-colored Pauillac. It is not as strong, powerful, or deep as more recent vintages of Batailley, with noticeable, but not excessive tannin as well as medium body. Drink it over the next 7-8… Read More »

Region Moonambel Grape Cabernet Tasting Notes Medium red-purple; the bouquet is quite scented, with sweet cassis/currant/blackberry fruit. The palate opens with abundant dark berry fruit, but then moves through to all pervasive tannins which need to settle and soften, and there has to be a question about the long-term balance of the wine. -87 pts… Read More »
