  Dense and compact, ripe but not overripe. Tannins of good qualtiy as well. This will be very good, but I would not touch it before 2033.

  Walkaround tasting so just short notes: Dark berries, beautiful oak and cedar, full bodied and round, juicy and powerful. Beautifully fresh acidity and round tannin with a beautiful bite. Probably best not to open a bottle before 2030 or, even better, 2032. Will be a beautiful wine until 2040 at least. 94+

  Fragrant, cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco, fine acid vein, immediately with pleasant tannins, peppery spice, well integrated alcohol, fruit, alcohol, acid, tannin in harmony. Enthusiasm, however, does not set in. On the second day, the wine tends to close.

  Tasted at a 2020 vintage UGC tasting in Singapore. Blackcurrant and blackberry with a wonderful mineral, pencil lead, pencil shaving nose and palate. Touch of salinity on the finish. Great complexity. Really awesome - Batailley truly punching above its weight!
  
  Anticipated score when fully mature: 94-96pts.

  Sporting a deep hue, the wine pops with its display of black currants, blackberries, espresso, cedar, cigar wrapper and mint leaf. The wine is full-bodied, round, and concentrated, with layers of ripe, polished, dark red pit fruits and berries, creamy tannins, and vibrancy, all of which make you go back for sip after sip. Drink from 2027-2055.
