Chateau Barde-Haut 2016 Saint Emilion Red French Bordeaux Wine 750 mL

96 rating Vinous

“Readers will find a rich, flamboyant wine in the 2016 Barde-Haut. There is not a ton of subtlety here, but I am not sure that matters all that much given how immensely pleasing the 2016 is. Crushed rocks, graphite, lavender, blackberry, plum, and violet infuse a Saint-Émilion that offers tremendous textural richness as well as vibrancy. Most importantly of all, the 2016 is flat-out delicious. This is a decidedly opulent, dark Saint-Emilion with all of the elements impeccably balanced. I loved it.” -Antonio Galloni
