1996 Haut-Batailley, Pauillac
Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 1996 Haut-Batailley, Pauillac ((89-91RP), 90ST, 90WS). Wine Advocate: "The wine exhibits a dense purple color, as well as a wonderfully sweet, classic Pauillac nose of black currants and cigar box notes. Powerful for Haut-Batailley (normally a light, elegant, supple Pauillac), the 1996 possesses intense fruit, medium to full body, ripe tannin, and a surprisingly long, layered finish. This appears to be a classic, and may merit an outstanding score. (RP)" (02/1998)

Int'l Wine Cellar
“Deep ruby-red. Floral, spicy aromas of black cherry, licorice and shoe polish. Thick and dense, with lovely sweetness and inner-mouth flavor. Boasts more volume than either the '98 or '97. Finishes thoroughly ripe, with rich, well-integrated tannins. A very strong vintage for this wine. (ST)” (05/1999)

Wine Spectator
“Aromas of blackberries and cassis, with hints of toasted oak. Full-bodied, chewy and rich. Needs time. (JS, Web-2007)” (04/2021)

Jancis Robinson
“Dark crimson. Attractive, focused but still youthful cassis nose. Tannins pretty well melded. A very attractive, gentle, classic claret. Classy stuff. Very nice classic claret. (JR)” (11/2015)
