Friday, October 25, 2013 - a little disappointing ...
right after screwing the cork
the Nose was just St. Julien - "man's wine"
The taste was as a nailed down any bordeaux wine
After half an hour it turned out in TASTE:
more open in giving a hint of what could be in this Wine
- but not in this year - some little sweetness- but the harmony is missing .-- a little too much acid- not real good tannins .---
on next day it turns out more disappointing - NO GREAT WINE !°
I had this wine and Year several times ...
I was always hoping it will turn any better - in
earlier Time it was to nailed down .-.. and one could have imagine it will turn any better BUT never the less it is turning out
to be with no any Barton charakter... and style .. a no name good Bordeaux wine worth 20 - 30 bucks .. no real enjoyment !
88/ points of 100
