Barde-Haut - 2009 (1.5L) France This is another fabulous wineMade from tiny yields of 18 hectoliters per hectare (May hail damage resulted in this small crop), the opaque purple colored 2009 reveals an extraordinary nose of mulberries, black cherries, charcoal, barbecue smoke and forest floor. Rich, full bodied and opulent with silky tannins as well as a broad, unctuous texture, this beauty can be enjoyed now and over the next 15+ years. It is fashioned from a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Robert
