Other Reviews...
The Château Haut-Batailley 2014 is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot picked between 25 September and 9 October at 33hl/ha. The nose seems to revel in that Cabernet Sauvignon: sensual black fruit on the nose mixed with minerals and incense aromas. It offers knockout precision. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin that are enveloped in pure black cherry fruit mixed with blueberry and even hints of orange rind. There is already plenty of energy coiled up in this Haut-Batailley - a splendid Pauillac in the making. Drink 2019 - 2032.

Light tobacco and cedar hints lead off, followed by pretty red currant and bitter cherry fruit flavors. Shows good energy on the iron-edged finish. A minerally style of Pauillac.

J.M. - Wine Spectator
Lovely textured, lifted black Cabernet fruit to the fore. Beautiful expression and an elegantly long finish.

Decanter
A young wine with presence and finesse showing firm tannins, a medium to full body and a persistent finish. Fine texture.
