The 2005 Château Barde-Haut showed beautifully and was one of the gems in the lineup. Offers loads of ripe dark fruits, tobacco leaf, graphite, and ample minerality, this sexy beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a stacked mid-palate, sweet tannins, and a great finish. It's a muscular, concentrated 2005 that stays balanced and elegant. It has another 10-15 years of prime drinking and is well worth seeking out! ... More details

Varietal: Red Bordeaux

The blended red wines of Bordeaux have gone down in history as the finest wines every produced, with collectors and many of the general public still eagerly anticipating the wineries of this region's new releases to this day. The secret to Bordeaux's monumental success has been their careful blending of high quality grape varietals, controlled and protected by French law. In Bordeaux, wineries can only produce red wines using a blend of two or more of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec or Carménere grape varietals, with the latter two becoming less and less commonly seen on bottles. The vast majority of Bordeaux red wines use Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varietals, boosted by a little Petit Verdot. These three grapes compliment each other beautifully as they age in oak, rounded out their tannins and the high astringency of the Sauvignon, and resulting in wonderfully complex flavors and aromas.
