Aromas and flavors of blackcurrants, plums, graphite, and loads of chocolate notes jump from the glass. This wine displays full-bodied richness and depth, soft tannins, and a long finish. Best part is that it is drinking now! Highly Recommended
Even better than the 2009, the 2010 Château Barde-Haut offers the same sexy, extroverted style yet has slightly more density and depth. Blackcurrants, plums, graphite, and loads of chocolate notes jump from the glass, and it put its foot firmly on the ripeness pedal with its full-bodied richness and depth, sweet tannins, moderate acidity, and a rockstar of a finish. It's one of the most massive, opulent wines in the lineup and will continue to evolve gracefully for another two decades or more.
