2006 Château Barde-Haut

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

88 Points

Saturday, December 24, 2022 - Two year vertical with 2007 served after. Pretty darn dark in my glass. A ruby at midnight. Clear with a 5 mm even penetration into a soft but still sound cork. Decanted off of gritty sediment.

Reserved bouquet of dark plum, cocoa, vanilla and tobacco.

Lightweight body and quite resolved tannins revealing dried blueberry, plum, a fair amount of earth and gravel over tertiary notes.

Finish is acidic but not obnoxious. Alcohol is well in check.

Overall a very serviceable Merlot. Drink now.
