Chateau Batailley 2002 (1x75cl)

A Pauillac from 2002, so this bottle has had more than twenty years in glass. Wines with that much age are usually opened for a reason: a milestone dinner, a birth-year gift, or simply a table of friends who like older Bordeaux.

Stand it upright for a day or two before serving and decant gently, since older bottles often throw sediment. Delivery in Hong Kong takes 2-5 business days.

Tasting notes

Aged Cabernet-led Pauillac usually moves away from fresh fruit toward cedar, tobacco leaf, dried blackcurrant and earth, with tannins that have typically softened over time.
