Tasting notes
Ripe black cherries, darker currants, smoky earth, truffle, and smoke tobacco-like nuances all emerge from the 2010 Château Barde-Haut, a quintessential Saint-Emilion that brings considerable elegance and purity, as well as the richness and depth of the vintage. It's just now at the early stages of its drinking window and has another 10-15 years. Drink 2025-2040.

The 2010 Barde-Haut is showing a little brettanomyces on the nose, a bit animally and feral compared to the 2009. The palate feels unbalanced, and there is some dryness on the finish. Two or three bottles opened. Tasted at the Barde-Haut vertical at the château.
Opulent nose that is almost left banky in its savour and complexity. Open, rather simple, minty fruit on the palate. Not as ambitious as some. Just a little lean in terms of fruit weight. (JR)
