Das Bouquet zeigt eine dunkle Aromatik, Malz, Schoko, Pumpernickel. Erst im zweiten Ansatz kommt Frucht in Form von Black Currant durch. Intensiver, cremiger, schier üppiger Gaumen, zeigt viel Schmelz und liefert eine gebündelte Poweraromatik im Finale ab. Im Nachklang spürt man dann doch noch genügend Tannine, welche es zu verdauen gilt. Vom Potential her ist das der grösste Barde-Haut den ich je verkosten habe. Ich denke, hier liegt gar noch ein Punkt mehr drin in seiner Reife. Das wäre dann der beste Saint-Emilion-Wert. 18/20 2025 – 204694 Wine SpectatorIntense and vibrant, this packs juicy plum, currant and raspberry fruit into the core, while the very racy, energetic structure drives the finish.—J.M.92 Robert ParkerDeep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Barde-Haut gives up notions of plum preserves, potpourri and baked cherries with underlying Chinese five spice and cigar box hints. Medium to full-bodied, it has a firm backbone of grainy tannins and background freshness supporting the spicy black fruits, finishing on a lingering earthy note.
