Tasted from magnum at the Académie du Vin dinner in Bordeaux, the 1962 Batailley has a mellow, autumnal bouquet with scents of sandalwood, briary, leather and dried herbs. Somehow the aromatics remind me more of a mature Saint Julien than a Pauillac. The palate has a pleasing sweetness on the entry, rendering this an atypically more sensual Batailley that I suspect must have been comparatively opulent in its youth. There is an attractive note of dried blood on the aftertaste. This is probably in gradual decline, but it continues to offer great pleasure. Tasted April 2012.
