Another 2005 that’s drinking at point yet has plenty of life ahead of it, the 2005 Château Barde-Haut reveals a dense plum/purple hue as well as a mineral-laced bouquet of red and black fruits, dried flowers, truffly earth, and graphite. With medium to full-bodied richness, it has terrific mid-palate depth, a focused, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. I’d certainly be thrilled to have bottles in the cellar, and it will evolve gracefully for another 10-15 years, although there’s no need to delay gratification at this point.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

The Wine Independent

The 2005 Barde Haut is deep garnet colored with a hint of brick. It leaps with preserved plums and blackberries plus hints of dried herbs, damp soil, olives, and tobacco. The medium-bodied palate has elegant black fruit layers with a firm frame of grainy tannins and tons of freshness, finishing with great length.

Wine Advocate

Sylvie Garcin’s 2005 Barde-Haut comes from 42-plus acres of vineyard and is dominated by Merlot, with a good healthy dose of Cabernet Franc. It displays notes of chalk, crushed rock, blackcurrants and black cherries. It is a big, masculine style of wine from the Garcin family that has still not attained its plateau of maturity. In spite of the tannins, structure is not an issue with this wine, but it needs time to come around. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2030.

Vinous Media

The 2005 Barde-Haut offers deep brambly black fruit on the nose, becoming quite plummy, not intense with a slightly airy element. Hints of cooked meat emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a sharp entry, a little soy here with a bit of rusticity towards the finish. Just a bit stolid now at 16-years of age, yet certainly with the substance to age. I see no problem broaching this now and over the next decade. Tasted at the Barde-Haut vertical at the château.
