BARTARD 10 MARCHAND
STEPHEN TANZER 93 POINTS: "(I tasted a sample taken from barrel in August, shortly before the bottling): Good full yellow. Big, ripe aromas of lemon oil, smoke, hazelnut and vanillin oak. Opulent, mouthfilling and seamless, with serious depth to its flavors of mirabelle, fresh peach and spices. Finishes long and aromatic, with palate-staining flavors of peach oil and spicy oak. A particularly large-scaled Batard with surprising subtlety."
