Description

A bottle of 1996 Château Batailley Grand Cru Classe from Bordeaux's Pauillac appellation. A 'fifth growth' in the 1855 classification, the 55 hectare estate is planted with 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.

'Vivid deep crimson colour. Creamy nose with classic scents of blackcurrant and cedar. Oak, but not overpowering. Palate is rather astringent with high acidity and grippy tannins. Creamy texture and nice cherry fruit. Rather lean, but elegant, dry and decent length. Nicely structured and plenty of fruit. Needs 5 years. 91/100' Tom Cannavan, 1999.

Condition

Please see images for fill level and label condition. Note general wear.

The Whisky.Auction team has inspected this lot and found it to be suitable for sale. However, please note the absence of a condition statement does not imply that this lot is in perfect condition or free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of ageing. We cannot guarantee that the contents of this bottle will be free from the effects of age, cork taint, oxidation or other faults. Older bottles often contain sediment. Wines are more fragile than spirits and older wines may be listed, at our discretion, for their historical interest rather than their drinkability. We can in no way guarantee that they are still within their plateau of maturity or to the buyer’s taste.

This bottle does not appear to be leaking. While we take every care to pack bottles securely we cannot guarantee that old corks and closures will not leak in transit.
