just a matter of taste

38% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot

There is good energy and better detail to the round and delicious flavors that possess more volume while terminating in an equally sappy finish that offers good if not genuinely special complexity but lovely persistence

The palate is much better and more expressive with tangy marmalade and quince notes

focused and sneaky long finish

Batailley other_regions just a matter of tasteThe 1995 Batailley offers dusty black fruit on the nose, melted tar and graphite emerging with time. Personally, I would like more fruit for it comes across a little too austere. The palate is medium bodied with light blackberry, a little tough in the middle. Age has not softened this Batailley and it still feels unapologetically foursquare on the finish. Not bad, but it does not feel as if it is going anywhere interesting. Tasted at the chteau. Neal
