A gorgeous wine, it will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for two decades.\u003cbr\u003e95 James Suckling\u003cbr\u003eAromas of black and blue fruit, toasted spices, walnut and dark chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied with a juicy character and firm, polished tannins which build on the palate. Well-balanced, structured and compact with velvety texture and hints of spices and bark to close. Lingering finish. Try after 2027.\u003cbr\u003e94 Decanter\u003cbr\u003eA good drop of damson and black cherry fruits right up front, and holds its line while the more austere tannins come in towards the finish. Expertly extracted, self-contained right now, firm fruits that don't dip through the mid palate alongside a glossy wash of liquorice, black chocolate, sage and anis. This is clearly going to age well. 60% new oak for ageing. Owned by Hélène Garcin-Leveque, this is located right next to Troplong Mondot.\u003cbr\u003eBarrel Sample: 94\u003cbr\u003e93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 Barde-Haut unwinds in the glass with aromas of blackberries, cassis and blueberries mingled with hints of violets and spices. Medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a deep core of ripe but lively fruit, powdery tannins and a floral finish, it's the usual blend of more or less 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc (the latter increasingly deriving from massal selections taken at Clos l'Eglise).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Barde-Haut","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44839298334944,"sku":"121638","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/barde2.jpg?v=1775590243","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-barde-haut-st-emilion-2016-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
