A DISAPPOINTING BENCHMARK

CHATEAU HAUT-BATAILLEY 2011 GRAND CRU 

As the most expensive of our 24 mixed bottles from Cave l'Avant Garde we opened this with keen anticipation. Sadly it didn't rattle our cage so we replaced the cork. Next day same response. On the third day it was drinking at its best but it still didn't impress as much as lower priced reds in the selection.

REGION: Pauillac, Bordeaux
A/V: 13.5% 
PRICE: 42 euro 
FROM: Cave L'Avant Garde Margaux 
RATING: 3/5 from me
