Robert Parker (89)

Tasted at a vertical tasting at the château. The 2011 Haut Batailley has an open and expressive bouquet with blackberry and crushed stone—not as vibrant or displaying the same contrast as the 2012, but that powdered stone develops nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and satisfying fruit concentration. This is a more elegant Haut-Batailley, without the weight and concentration of the previous two vintages, but offering finesse and composure on the finish. You could actually drink this now, but it will give another 15-18 years of pleasure.

Winespectator (89)

Very perfumy and elegant for Pauillac, with a pretty rose petal hint backed by bitter cherry, red currant and bergamot notes. Offers a long, fine-grained, iron-lined finish. Should age pleasantly into a mineral-driven version.
