BUY THE WINE

Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Richly coloured with sharply defined, exquisitely precise aromas, body, texture and tannins – much more Pauillac than the Haut-Batailley. The balance of strength and finesse is masterful. An archetypal vintage wine from a growth that has seen a profound transformation in the past two or three years. 17

Margaret Rand: Powerful tannins overshadow the fruit, and the finish is not exceptional. 15
