Not surprisingly, I love it, as I do with most barde-hauts. Plush, velvety, concentrated, but retaining that classic st emilion complexity.

Might be confused for Napa, if it weren't for the deft hand in the new oak usage. Ripe, ready and delicious.

Very pretty nose.. Sweet strawberry cream and vanilla roar from the glass with accents of black cherry. Powerful on the attack with restrained fruit after a couple hours decanting. Cherry pit, oak, and black plum dominate. Nice but it needs more time to integrate. On day two, sour cherry and graphite evolve with a biting acidity.. With time this will be great.

Powerful nose. Rich perfumed fruit, and alluring vanilla and earth notes. Showing exceptionally well at this age.

2011 vintage. Cherry and blackberry flavors. Some tannins. Decanted for a little over 2 hrs. Could use more and should age more!

Current, leather, earth, and a bit of spice. Nice structure and smooth tannins.
