92-94 Points Jeb Dunnuck

Framboise, cassis, sweet spice, and floral notes all emerge from the 2022 Château Haut-Batailley Verso, a forward, charming, velvety textured second wine that shines for its purity and balance. It's going to drink nicely right out of the gate, yet it still has solid underlying structure, and I see no reason it shouldn't evolve nicely for 15 years in cold cellars.
