Merchant's description
Château Batailley 1986 is a fully mature Bordeaux red wine from the Pauillac Fifth Growth Château Batailley. An assemblage of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and smaller proportions of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, the 1986 still shows signs of the classic 1986 Pauillac vintage, which produced bold tannic wines for long ageing.
