2003 Château Léoville Barton

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Thursday, April 21, 2022 - bought retail ~5 years ago. cork is barely soaked. showing some bricking and oxidation. significant sediment.

nose: cherry cough drop, char, lil debbie raisin creme pie, a hint of vics, tons of very sweet tobacco. shows alcohol.

palate: concentrated. slight medicinal astringence. soft and rich with talc like tannins on the back. both are probably attributable to the fine tannin that didn't sink with the sludge. very good!

etc: showed great on pnp. indubitably Bordeaux, just not rustic and from a hot vintage. my third bottle with no brett or funk. one bottle of three was off
