Tasting note: A tiny crop of 18 hectoliters per hectare (the result of the mid-May hail damage) lead to an opaque purple-colored, richest, most concentrated, biggest Barde-Haut made to date. A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2009 possesses an intense bouquet of mulberries, boysenberries, charcoal, toast, and graphite. Extremely full-bodied, thick, and viscous with good freshness and definition as well as sweet, but high tannins, this beauty can be enjoyed over the next two decades. (Tasted two times.) (93-95*pts. Robert Parker)

Tasted: Apr. 2010
Score: 93-95*
Drink: 2010-30

Tasting note: Showing a lovely, intense and dark color, this wine offers a powerful, very ripe, creamy and spicy nose. Finely pulpy on entry, it then develops very aromatic, over a superior body, with taste, a fine touch and fine tannins. It finishes tasty and slightly truffled, of good length. This wine has 14.5% of alcohol. It is a blend of 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. pH 3,5. (89-90pts. Jean-Marc Quarin)

Tasting note: Love the blueberry and mineral character in this young wine. Full-bodied, with silk tannins and a fruity, chocolate and light vanilla cream aftertaste.(89-92pts. JS, Wine Spectator)
