Community Tasting Note

rikipedia Likes this wine:

Monday, December 1, 2014 - Terroir-istes International - France, Bordeaux, Léoville Barton (Rodwell House): Mid-deep crimson the aromas are pongy with strong farmyard notes, briary fruits with red and blackberries mixing with some tertiary notes of forest floor, grass and moss.
An intense entry the wine has a dense solid texture and notes lemon-edge tart acidity. Yet the wine has excellent concentration, ripe fruits and oak spices to sshow its credentials. Perhaps in an awkward spot right now, the wine reminded me of bipolar ripening in very warm vintages like 2003 where it is super ripe, often raisined fruit on the one side and dehydrated but unripe berries on the other that give that green, smoke infused expression.
