2003 Château Léoville Barton

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

94 Points

Sunday, October 22, 2023 - 6th of 24, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level, delicious if far from full maturity, less angular than last bottle 2 years ago and with nuanced fruit showing some secondaries, silky texture, but started to close in glass and reveal underlying unresolved tannins, thankfully quite sweet and fine grained, I've always thought highly of Barton and this wine in particular and have no reason to resile based on this, significant upside, 30+ years. For now F+ (18).
