This is another fabulous wine from Paolo De Marchi

Nose: Fascinatingly complex

it has an initially tightly wound bouquet that demands coaxing from the glass

and savory Mezcal full of delightful flavors and aromas that keep you coming back

Rich and pretty caramel and citrus aromas precede complex flavors of leather

Barde-Haut - 2009 (1.5L) France This is another fabulous wineMade from tiny yields of 18 hectoliters per hectare (May hail damage resulted in this small crop), the opaque purple colored 2009 reveals an extraordinary nose of mulberries, black cherries, charcoal, barbecue smoke and forest floor. Rich, full bodied and opulent with silky tannins as well as a broad, unctuous texture, this beauty can be enjoyed now and over the next 15+ years. It is fashioned from a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Robert
