88 Robert Parker
Tasted at the Académie du Vin, the 1966 Batailley has a similar bouquet to the bottle encountered back in 2011, with scorched leather and cigar box aromas infusing the black fruit. This example had a touch of tarriness. The palate is medium-bodied and foursquare, stocky and broad-shouldered without the finesse that you find on the best examples of the 1961. Nevertheless, there is commendable depth given its age—irony in character with veins of dried orange peel lacing the finish that admittedly feels abrupt. Drink soon if you still own any bottles. Tasted April 2016.

Zweimal verkostet, beide Male mit der gleichen Wertung, Letzte Notiz aus dem Jahr 2001, als ich den Wein mit Philippe Castéja auf Château Lynch-Moussas trank: Immer noch eine intakte Farbe. Auch hier stört wieder, wie schon vor fünf Jahren dieser Polyesterton, der ihm eine medizinale Note verleiht. Schlanker, eleganter Gaumen, aber irgendwie erinnert man sich trotz der Gefälligkeit im Gaumen immer wieder an diesen eigenwilligen Nasenton. Vielleicht hilft stundenlanges Dekantieren. Der Wein wäre an sich recht gut von der Kontur her. austrinken

Château Batailley
Historically the estate was part of Château Batailley until its purchase by the brothers François and Marcel Borie in 1932. It was then divided into two properties in 1942 in order to prevent inheritance difficulties. The smaller part which did not include the Batailley château became the property of François Borie who added to its vineyards with land acquisitions from Château Duhart-Milon (while also running Château Ducru-Beaucaillou). Following his death in 1953, the property passed on to his daughter Françoise de Brest-Borie, while being administered by her brother and Ducru-Beaucaillou owner Jean-Eugène Borie. The estate is still run by the Borie family who also own Ducru-Beaucaillou and Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste. The vineyard area extends 22 hectares (54 acres) planted with 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc
