Fruity, soft and fully mature, the 2008 Barde-Haut offers up notes of licorice, roasted herbs, cedar and spice. Medium-bodied with an evolved, endearing character, it should be enjoyed over the next 5-6 years.
Tasted ex-château and single blind in Southwold. The Château Barde-Haut has an attractive though tightly wound bouquet, with notes of black olive, black plum and a touch of truffle. It has fine delineation and should unfold nicely. The palate has again, crisp delineation with strict linear tannins. The oak is well integrated, the fresh acidity lending this Saint Emilion great vivacity right until its delightful fresh finish. Tasted January 2012.
Pure cassis nose and plenty of oak spice. Dense and grippy. A powerhouse but fine-grained and fresh. (JH)
This beautiful, luscious, sensual St.-Emilion exhibits a deep purple color as well as a sumptuous nose of ink, graphite, blackberries, and cassis. Full-bodied with sweet tannin, admirable concentration, and a long, velvety finish, this superb, fairly priced 2008 is worth checking out. It should drink well for 12-15 years.
This has a deep purple/ruby colour. The nose is fragrant, with ripe cherry, blueberry and a touch of violets. Nice definition although it needs time to open. The palate is silky smooth, very intense, lovely poise and purity with blueberry, cassis, a touch of spice, Very nice weight on the finish. This is an outstanding Saint Emilion for the vintage. Tasted April 2009.
