The 2019 Château Haut-Batailley Verso is incredibly floral and perfumed, with beautiful red and blue fruits as well as lead pencil, tobacco, and sappy herb nuances. A medium-bodied, elegant second wine, it has the tannins, mid-palate, and overall balance to drink well for two decades if properly stored.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Vinous Media

The 2019 Verso de Haut-Batailley, which I did not taste last year, has a perfumed bouquet of mint-tinged black fruit and a touch of graphite in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with pencil lead notes on the entry. This Deuxième Vin is endowed with splendid concentration. Classic in style, with just a touch of black pepper toward the finish. Well worth seeking out.

Decanter

Dark and milk chocolate aromas around sweet, fragrant black fruits. Plush tannins, soft but with good texture. Cooling blue fruits on the palate, coffee bean freshness giving a spicy touch. Nice combination that really works here. It's got a lot going on and is not on the fruit nor spicy side, just all melded together with an undercurrent of acidity that gives it life. Drinking Window 2023 - 2029.

The Wine Independent

A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, the 2019 Verso is deep garnet-purple in color. It is a little closed to start, opening out to notes of black raspberries, mulberries, and cassis, plus wafts of potpourri, tree bark, and Sichuan pepper. The medium-bodied palate is tightly wound, with lovely tension and a mineral-laced finish.

Wine Spectator

Sports a noticeable savory streak from the start, along with brisk cassis and damson plum notes and a subtle infusion of tobacco leaf. Shows a good twinge of iron through the finish. On the austere side but in proportion, this is for fans of the style. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2032.
