This feminine-styled wine is more similar to a St.-Julien than a Pauillac. A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Merlot, the deep ruby/purple-tinged 2006 Haut-Batailley offers up sweet aromas of black cherries, licorice, currants, and a hint of underbrush along with a silky texture. Xavier Borie has been upgrading the quality at this estate over the last several years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020.

This property, while in the Pauillac appellation, seems to be more St.-Julien-like in most vintages. With silky tannins, its sweet berry-scented nose intermixed with some forest floor and underbrush offer impressive aromatics. The wine is medium-bodied, with silky, noble sweetness, and a fine, pure finish. It should drink well for 12-15+ years.

Beautiful blackberry and chocolate aromas follow through to a full body, with soft, round tannins and a pretty finish, though lacks a little bit at the end. Best from 2013 through 2017. 7,500 cases made. â_"JS

Fresh and fruity, with good acidity and a clean berry aftertaste. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a medium finish. Long. Very good for the vintage. -J.S.
