Written Notes

Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. A great 2020 with elegance, freshness and depth. Aroma reminiscent of ripe blackcurrants, blackberries and elderberries, hints of plums in the background. Complemented by multi-facetted spiciness, cloves, cardamom and vanilla, dark chocolate and hints of roasted coffee beans. On the palate rich yet elegant with velvety character, ripe tannins, mild spices and fine toasting, subtle oak backed by juicy fruit, quoting the nose. A great Batailley with fine tension and excellent length.
