Chateau Batailley 2017 1.5L Greco made from a refined blendThis is straight and transparent with currant and dark chocolate aromas. Orange peel, light tar and violets. Medium to full body. Gorgeous core of dark fruit and polished tannins that push out the edge of the wine, giving it a seamless texture. A blend of 80% cabernet sauvignon, 17% merlot and 3% petit verdot. Needs two or three years to show it all. 94 Pts James Suckling
