Some blackberries and blackcurrants. Hints of spice. Medium to full body. Savory finish. 54% merlot, 43% cabernet sauvignon and 3% petit verdot.
Framboise, cassis, sweet spice, and floral notes all emerge from the 2022 Château Haut-Batailley Verso, a forward, charming, velvety textured second wine that shines for its purity and balance. It's going to drink nicely right out of the gate, yet it still has solid underlying structure, and I see no reason it shouldn't evolve nicely for 15 years in cold cellars.
Intensely fragrant, dark chocolate and blackcurrant. Smooth and supple, lively with good energy and a sharp, fresh and cool tang to the acidity which really makes this quite forward and vibrant. Still sleek with tension and focus, it’s not plush at all, the tannins are fine and slender with definition. Good concentration, acidity, and approachability. Lean but bright, forward and fun! 88IPT. 3.65pH. Ageing 12 months in one-year-old barrels. Harvest 20 September - 27 September. (Drink between 2026-2038)
