  March 17, 2024 - Lovely structure, pencil shavings, not too tannic. Think it needs more time. Suspect I will leave for a number of years.

  February 15, 2024 - Pencil shavings, thick currant. Not super tannic. Probably has room to develop but great to drink now.
  
  Adding some interesting findings after finishing the bottle a few days later (first glass was Coravined). I had this next to a 2015 Malescot St. Exupery. Based on the draws from earlier in the week, I had expected the Malescot to be the clear superior. While I feel like the wines drank consistently, the Batailley was more approachable. There was a lightness and finesse quality that made it the more enjoyable of the two. On the downside, I have some concerns about the quality of the cork. I'm not sure I'd leave these for a decade without checking on them from time to time.

  January 27, 2024 - From MAG. Really aromatic, Medoc terroir shines through and well balanced as all 2016. Young, lots of oak still, but very promising showing. Preferred this to the also very well made 2018.
