Tasted at the Academie du Vin dinner in Bordeaux, I made a beeline for the Chateau Batailley 1955 that I previously tasted five years ago. It is a lovely mature Pauillac with telltale mint on the nose, neatly embroidered into the lively brambly red berry fruit mixed with sous-bois scents. The palate is well balanced with black fruit extant after 60 years, a little foursquare perhaps, but still vigorous. I wrote that this was quintessential Englishman's Claret before and I have no reason to alter that. Drink over the next ten years or so. Tasted April 2015.
