1994 Château Léoville Barton

Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 4, 2006 - The Leoville aromas were slightly more restrained, a little more reminiscent of cedar, and the palate was slightly better structured than the Wynns [86 John Riddoch], but perhaps more bony and angular. The two wines did a fascinating job of demonstrating two sides of the same varietal coin (although how much merlot is in the St Julien, I wonder?). 1994 in Bordeaux seems to be one of those neither-one-thing-nor-the-other vintages, and I suspect that for many of the wines there’s nowhere much left to go, so it was pleasing that this was as attractive as it was.
