CHÂTEAU BATAILLEY 2010 (3)
Pauillac. 5ième Cru Classé
The palate is medium-bodied, but it is the detail and precision that achieves a level that makes the 2010 a benchmark for the Pauillac estate. It sashays towards a tensile, tar and graphite-tinged finish that lingers in the mouth. This is destined for long-term aging insofar that its quality will not be widely appreciated for many years. Tasted April 2016. Drink: 2025-2060 WA 95
CHÂTEAU PRIEURÉ-LICHINE 2009 (3)
Margaux. 4ième Cru Classé
1 x scuffed label
The soft, sexy 2009 exhibits a dense plum/purple color along with a big, sweet bouquet of raspberries, black cherries, black currants, smoke and forest floor. Opulent and round with an attractive viscosity as well as outstanding purity, depth and length, it should drink well for two decades. While not one of the longest lived wines of the vintage, it is among the most precocious, flattering and charming at present. December 2011 Drink: 2012-2032 WA 93
