Vibrant, elegant, round, and supple, the wine is loaded with red and black plums, cherries, chocolate, spice, licorice. and a dash of citrus. There is ample richness, depth, and energy here coupled with sensuous textures, and vibrancy, that while able to be enjoyed with just a modicum of aging, it has the ability to age and develop for up to two decades. The wine blends 80% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2026-2045.

(91-93 vvPunkte) 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Offene Nase, Kräuterwürze, ein Hauch Leder, darunter reife Pflaumenfrucht und etwas Tabak. Im Gaumen straff, zeigt einiges an Konzentration, die Tannine sind etwas flockig, kämpfen mit der Frucht um Vorherrschaft, der Wein strahlt eine gewisse Wärme aus, hat jedoch ein kühles Rückgrat, ist irgendwo zwischen diesen beiden Welten. Im Abgang mit sehr guter Länge. Eindrücklich. 2027-2045+ (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2022. Château Barde-Haut) vvWine.ch

Deeply colored, the wine is plush, soft, round and rich, with a silky, plummy, chocolate and wet earth character. The wine is richly-textured, elegant, deep and fresh, with a black cherry, licorice, cocoa infused finish that feels just great on your palate. The wine blends 80% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc. 13.5% ABV. The harvest took place September 27 - September 30. Drink from 2024-2045. 93-95
