Community Tasting Note

Nutty08 Likes this wine:

Friday, June 11, 2010 - San Antonio Wine Geeks - Leoville Barton Vertical (Steve's house): Slow O'ed at cellar temp for 12hrs, then re-corked. Cedar spice and leather on the nose, and again with a hint of mint. Round palate, with red fruits – cassis and black cherry. Relatively resolved tannins, but those present were fine and slightly sweet. Leather, mocha, cigar box on the finish that really lingered on the palate. This was well balanced, open, and really showing well tonight. Flavor profile was very much like the ’89 but with a little more fruit and slightly less mint. Drinking well now and should age fine for the next 5-10yrs. My WOTN and several other’s favorite.
