2005 Chateau Barde Haut, Grand Cru St. Emilion (12 x Bottle)
Sylvie Garcin’s 2005 Barde-Haut comes from 42-plus acres of vineyard and is dominated by Merlot, with a good healthy dose of Cabernet Franc. It displays notes of chalk, crushed rock, blackcurrants and black cherries. It is a big, masculine style of wine from the Garcin family that has still not attained its plateau of maturity. In spite of the tannins, structure is not an issue with this wine, but it needs time to come around. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2030.

Vinous
Good full red-ruby. Brooding aromas of black raspberry, blackberry and toasty oak. Broad and lush in the mouth, with a fine-grained texture and excellent palate coverage. Lively acidity gives life to the blackberry and black cherry flavor. Not at all overly sweet; in fact, this is surprisingly rigorous today. Finishes with serious tannic structure and excellent length. Very promising, stylish vintage for Barde-Haut.
