Tasting Notes

93
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Oct 19
The 1961 Batailley is a wine that I have tasted three of four times including a spellbinding bottle back in 2007. Nothing has ever quite approached that example, although this bottle made an extremely fine Pauillac in this year. Blackberry, mint and graphite comprise the well-defined nose, bottles displaying varying levels of precision, this one quite good. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine bead of acidity, impressive depth and unapologetically classic in style. Truffle and smoke develop towards the finish that offers plenty of freshness, even if it does not quite possess the length of its peers. One of the better value 1961 Left Bank wines if you find a bottle. Tasted at a private dinner in Bordeaux.

Pauillac Fine Wine

Pauillac

Pauillac, a prestigious Bordeaux appellation in the Médoc region, is famed for producing some of the world's finest red wines. Pauillac wines are known for their power, structure, and longevity, featuring intense blackcurrant and blackberry flavours, with notes of cedar, tobacco, and graphite. Firm yet refined tannins support long-term ageing. Top producers include Château Lafite Rothschild for elegance, Château Latour for powerful structure, and Château Mouton Rothschild for its blend of power and finesse. Other notable estates include Château Pichon Longueville Baron and Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande.
