Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, January 26, 2011 - Chateau Batailley Tasting (The Sampler): This has a very interesting nose. Muddled flavors dominate but what is obvious is black licorice, vics vapor rub and mothball notes.
Dry palate that actually unfolds into a fairly ripe juicy wine. Lots of anise, menthol/mint, mocha, worn saddle and pencil lead. Long fruit driven finish caps this off. This seems like a wine 20 years younger. There was a comment from the winery that this may have been lightly chaptalized....
Drink now - 2018
Outstanding Quality. 92
