Vinous: 92 Points
The 2014 Haut-Batailley has a perfumed, floral bouquet with pressed rose petals and bay leaves infusing the vivacious dark berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very well-balanced and classic in style, with black pepper and graphite towards the finish. It gains intensity in the glass, completing a really delicious Pauillac that should be ready in a year or two.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
The 2014 Haut Batailley has a very subtle bouquet, one that bided its time in the glass and then unfolded with scents of blackberry, briary, pencil box and light graphite scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, moderate weight, classic and perhaps conservative in style. Yet the harmony is just wonderful and it slips down the throat almost too easily. As such, I feel this is a more approachable Haut-Batailley compared to other vintages.
