Score 84/100 · Drink 1983, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

In the context of the vintage's great reputation, this wine tastes atypical and comparable to the style of the 1962. Soft, ripe, spicy fruit on the nose reveals full maturity. However, the intense ripeness that exists in so many 1961s is not present in Haut-Batailley. Soft, round, plump, fruity flavors are overlaid with oak in this medium-bodied wine. Drink up. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 7/83.
