93 Wine Spectator
This is ripe, with a lovely beam of cassis and blackberry well-harnessed by seamless acidity. The rounded, enticing finish has a dash of toasty vanilla that's well-embedded. Score range: 90-93 –JM<br/> <br/>.

Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Barockes Bouquet, schwarze Pflaumenhaut, Tabak, Trüffelnoten, Lakritze, sanft trocken im Ansatz. Fleischiger Gaumen, zeigt verlangende Adstringenz, versprechendes Potential. Also hat er gute Chancen noch zuzulegen. warten (2018 - 2036)
90 Robert Parker
This is always the most St.-Julien-like of the Pauillacs (although occasionally Pichon-Lalande possesses a suave, St.-Julian character and less power than many Pauillacs). The dark ruby/purple-hued 2010 reveals sweet aromas of red and black currants, cedar and spicy background oak. It is an attractive, elegant, mid-weight wine with polished tannins as well as a restrained style. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.

Château Haut Batailley
A relatively newcomer to the Bordeaux scene, Château Haut-Batailley was historically part of Château Batailley, one of Pauillac’s oldest and largest estates. Owners of the Batailley estate since 1931, the Borie family essentially managed the property well before that, beginning in the late 1860s. By 1942, the family decided to divide the Batailley estate to avoid future inheritance difficulties. The property was split into two, son Marcel took the larger share, complete with the building, and title, Château Batailley, while the remaining part of the estate passed on to their son, François, as Château Haut-Batailley. Today, Haut-Batailley remains under the Borie family’s leadership, along with châteaux Grande-Puy-Lacoste and Ducru-Beaucaillou. Classified as a 5ème Grand Cru Classé, the 22-hectare estate produces sophisticated supple wines. Haut-Batailley is a harmonious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
