Chateau Barde Haut 1999

Parker om: Chateau Barde Haut

With three consecutive vintages meriting scores of 90 points or higher, Barde-Haut qualifies as one of St.-Emilion's up and coming stars. The 1999 boasts an opaque purple color as well as gorgeous jammy, sweet blackberry, cassis, and cherry aromas buttressed by high quality, smoky, toasty new oak. In the mouth, it is medium-bodied and firm, with moderately high tannin as well as thickness and unctuosity, a characteristic rarely found in the 1999 right bank Pomerols and St.-Emilions. The finish is reassuringly long, with plenty of glycerin and fruit.
