Community Tasting Note

Thursday, October 7, 2010 - Here is a fabulously rich old style bordeaux that is still kicking - and strong for it's age. I was expecting muted tannins and bordeaux earth and whilst definitely there they are still in the background somewhat. Tannins are still strong, rich red berry fruits with hints of fresh blackberry. For me personally I thought it needed more time in the bottle. Barton's wines sometimes have the strange desire to lie dormant in the bottle for 10-15 years before mellowing and I think this might be one of them. I would leave for another 5. It's a fantastic wine though! If only I had enough to try 1 each year from now until 2020
