  Can’t quite make my mind up about this one. The nose has ample cassis, blueberry, honeysuckle, earth, nutmeg and some stereotypical Pauillac pencil. The palate has much the same with a herbal and mint note that somewhat reminds me of Fisherman’s Friends.
  I’m a little surprised by how soft this is. There’s not a lot of tannin and the acidity is quite low which leaves the fruit tasting a little stewed. The finish is short lived but leaves a cloying texture which for some reason reminds me of rillettes.
  I think this is just fine, if a little boring given the lack of “ooomph”. To be honest I think I’d rather just have the standard Batailley, although my notes are strikingly similar to the 2015 vintage.
  It’s fine, glad it was just a half.
