93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Very floral, the 2022 Château Haut-Batailley Verso has beautiful black raspberry and cassis-like notes as well as hints of spicy wood and violet, medium to full body, a rounded, layered mouthfeel, and a great finish. (02/27/25)."
91 points Jane Anson (Inside Bordeaux): "Classic 2022 vintage, with its rich supple deeply fruited character, plenty of power and spice, exoitic spice of cumin and sandalwood. Flash of heat also reflects the vintage. 15% new oak. (11/23/23)."
90 points Georgina Hindle(Decanter): "Intensely fragrant, dark chocolate and blackcurrant. Smooth and supple, lively with good energy and a sharp, fresh and cool tang to the acidity which really makes this quite forward and vibrant. Still sleek with tension and focus, it’s not plush at all, the tannins are fine and slender with definition. Good concentration, acidity, and approachability. Lean but bright, forward and fun! 88IPT. 3.65pH. Ageing 12 months in one-year-old barrels. Harvest 20 September - 27 September. Drink 2026-2038. (03/31/23)."
90 points Zekun Shuai (Jamessuckling.com): "An expression of sweet berries, plums and currants on the nose as well as a touch of baked fruit. A slightly sweet-sour accent has a direct impact, giving this early appeal but less finesse or complexity. Fluid, juicy and firm at the end. Medium-long finish. 54% merlot, 43% cabernet sauvignon and 3% petit verdot. Drink in 2026. (01/13/25)."
