Tasting notes
The 1989 Haut-Batailley has a gorgeous amount of up-front, satiny fruit, is lush and ripe, as well as long. The palate impression is almost one of sweet, jammy fruit because of its super-richness. Anticipated maturity: Now-2006.

An elegant, well-crafted '89. Bubbling over with blackberry, cherry and bark. Full-bodied, very velvety, well-integrated tannins and a ripe berry aftertaste.--1989 Bordeaux horizontal. Best after 2001. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1999.

About the producer
The Cazes family – owners of Lynch-Bages and Ormes de Pez – purchased Haut-Batailley in 2017. They’ve embarked on a significant replanting programme, and exciting things are likely to come from this address with its new backing.
