Saturday, September 21, 2013 - Toronto Wine Cru - WineSpectator Off-Line Event - Leoville Vertical (Crush Wine Bar, Toronto): 1996 Leoville Barton
Abit more substance to this wine than the 1989 or 1998.
Nose - abit of animal or funk. Beyond this, the nose was not as open or evolved as the 1989. But openned up by the end of the night, to a really nice nose. Palette - more tannic than the 1989. So this wine needs atleast 5 years more in bottle. 93 or 94.
Wine of the 89, 96, 98 Flight
