René Gabriel: 19/20 "78 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 % Merlot, 2 % Cabernet Franc. Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Tiefgründiges Bouquet, Tabak und Trüffel stehen im Vordergrund, getrocknete, schwarze Pflaumenhaut, getrocknete Heidelbeeren, zeigt eine beeindruckende Tiefe. Fleischiger Gaumen, extrem viel schwarze Beeren, unglaublich konzentriertes Extrakt, zwischen massiv und fast gigantisch. Sicherlich der beste Haut-Batailley seiner Geschichte. Die Investitionen des neuen Keller zum besseren Qualitätsmanagement bewähren sich."(Bordeaux Total, René Gabriel) Wine Advocate: 92/100 "Long owned by Xavier Borie, this Pauillac estate sits next to Batailley and is just south of Borie’s other famous château, Grand-Puy-Lacoste. The 2012, dramatically better from bottle than barrel, is bigger boned, richer and more flamboyant than this wine normally tends to be. The color is a healthy purple, and the wine offers plenty of cassis and licorice as well as a touch of incense. The oak from barrel-aging 18 months is largely obscured. Medium to full-bodied and impressively endowed, it comes off like a hypothetic blend of a St.-Julien and Pauillac, but this is a classic 2012 that is full, rich and impressive, with beautifully sweet tannins. Drink it over the next 20 years."(Wine Advocate April 2015)
