It has a detailed bouquet of blackberry and cedar, quite backward and seemingly having advanced little since I tasted it in April 2016. The palate remains full of tension and brimming with energy, delivering classic cedar and tobacco notes toward the persistent finish. Batailley can produce wines that live many decades, and this is clearly one of them. Tasted at the property.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeal Martin, vinous.com, December 2019\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"color_15\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Tasted at the Batailley vertical tasting the chateau, the 2010 Batailley may well have been the best wine in a tasting that encompassed three centuries of winemaking at the estate. The nose offers outstanding delineation and mineralit. It positively fizzes in the glass with all that coiled-up energy, ladling out vivid blackberry and cedar aromas. 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.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeal Martin, \u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e - 30\/06\/2017\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e95+\/100\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FV \/ WS","offers":[{"title":"Bottle 1x75cl","offer_id":57647438791029,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/products\/batailley.png?v=1604416469","url":"https:\/\/www.finewinedirect.co.uk\/products\/chateau-batailley-2010-pauillac-sale-1","provider":"Fine Wine Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
