1970 Château Léoville Barton

92 Points

Saturday, July 3, 2021 - An upper shoulder bottle bought a few months ago along with the 1967 drunk earlier this week. Both bottles clearly well kept in the same conditions with good labels and corks that came out whole with the butlers friend. This cork more saturated. Good fruit with a leathery flavour. An interesting comparison. The 70 is darker and has a lot more fruit. Both finishes are good and long. Despite being a better vintage with more fruit and well integrated with soft tannins the 1970 lacks the perfume and charm of the 1967. Celebrating delivery of the Oscar India.
