Robert Parker Score: 85 points

Drink 1988–1988
This is one of my favorite Haut-Batailleys between 1971 and 1981. Silky on the palate and quite perfumed, with a pronounced oaky bouquet, this velvety, round, pleasant wine is quite delicious. It has matured rapidly. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 2/88.
