Community Tasting Note

djhammond Likes this wine:

Sunday, November 25, 2018 - I concur with my previous notes, that this by far is the best Leoville Barton drinking at present, and nearly up there with the Montrose and the Cos D'Estournel. The nose is deep with cherry and plum with hints of violet. The palate is ripe berry fruit and liquorice, and multi layered with depth and complexity. The tannin does intrude to a degree, but is soon shaken off with time and movement in the glass. With a finish of 60 seconds plus, the only criticism at present is that the tannin is dominant on the final part of the finish, but perfectly balanced. It will get better, but it can truly be enjoyed and relished now with 6 or more hours in the decanter, and, as importantly, a decent time in the glass. 96+
