JAMES SUCKLING: "A bright and slightly spicy Pauillac led by vivid acidity and a touch of peppercorns. Red berries and cherries with juicy fruit and medium to full body. Tannins are firm and quite fine-grained. Long but not dense at the end. 68% cabernet sauvignon, 26% merlot and 6% petit verdot. 12.9% alcohol."

ANSON: "Deep vibrant plum purple colour, liquorice bud, cassis bud, spiced blackberry and sage, fresh with austerity but balanced by juice running through the palate, well handled. 60% new oak. 3.63 pH, harvest September 25 to October 8. 90% of the estate's 50 year old vines are in here, plus the more recent Petit Verdot plantings."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische rote Waldbeernuancen, zart nach Ribisel, dezente Kräuterwürze, floraler Touch. Schlank, rote Kirschen, lebendige Textur, rote Waldbeerfrucht im Abgang, mineralisch und frisch im Nachhall, ein anregender Speisenwein."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Currants, flowers, cocoa, tobacco, and blackberry aromatics create the perfume. The medium-bodied palate is loaded with more of those clean, sweet, juicy, chewy black, with red currants. The wine was made from blending 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, and 6% Petit Verdot, 12.9% ABV, 3.63 pH. Drink from 2028-2045."

JEB DUNNUCK: "The 2024 Château Haut-Batailley checks in as 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, and 6% Petit Verdot. It brings more density and depth compared to the Verso and is deeper ruby/purple-hued with solid notes of darker currants, sappy flowers, and graphite, as well as some classic Pauillac freshly sharpened pencils. It's beautifully balanced, medium-bodied, has fine tannins, and a beautiful finish."
