Friday, June 11, 2010 - San Antonio Wine Geeks - Leoville Barton Vertical (Steve's house): I had more trouble wrapping my head around this than everyone else. Nose was quite closed and shy, but giving a hint of reduction mixed with some red fruit and a little heat. Noticeable alcohol on the palate, though this was relatively mild and didn’t detract in itself. Darker fruit profile than the previous vintages and while hinting at density on the palate, stayed light and focused. Medium finish with typical cedar spice and toast. Just seemed really tight to me. Nothing really wrong with the wine and no obvious flaws, but I didn’t find this enjoyable and I really have trouble projecting where this is going. It certainly has no other similar comparisons from this tasting. Just shut down? NR
