Bordeaux, France..... "From a well-situated, 43-acre vineyard next to the fabulous Troplong-Mondot, the beautiful 2005 Barde-Haut, under the leadership of Helene Garcin, offers abundant amounts of sweet berry fruit intermixed with licorice, pain grille, and barbecue spice notes. This plush, pure, medium to full-bodied effort will provide delicious drinking in 3-4 years, and last for two decades…91-93" WA 5/07.
"A tasty, opulent 2005 from proprietress Helene Garcin, this sexy wine exhibits a dense ruby/purple color followed by a sweet bouquet of licorice, black cherries, blackberries, oak, and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, opulent, fleshy, and disarming, it will drink well in 2-3 years, and should age for 12-15. 93" -WA 04/08
