Chateau Batailley, Pauillac, Bordeaux 2010 Pomerol

Chateau Batailley, Pauillac, Bordeaux 2010 PomerolBright, deep purplish crimson. Ripe fruit with a slight smoky note. Very sweet and fluid. Not the most concentrated but a good example that you really cant go too wrong with Pauillac 2010. Just a tiny bit of green on the finish. But super clean and fresh. Jancis Robinson (16. 5)
