2003 Château Léoville Barton

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Thursday, January 12, 2023 - First bottle from my now-19 year old son’s birthyear case. Took a picture of him opening OWC😆. Had for combo anniversary/kid goes back to college dinner, drank w a 2002 (marriage year) Karl Lawrence reserve beckstoffer to-kalon and grilled prime rib-steaks (fav dinner evar 😇).
Easy to tell it’s a hot year. Big nose w Pine and eucalyptus. Palate not as strong as nose but tastes great. More complex than KLR (not that that’s a surprise). Fruity still, plummy (not tart). Very smooth. No real aged characteristics except for smoothness.
Really excellent; preferred to the napa.
