Tuesday, September 7, 2010 - In my opinion, a bargain! This is a at least second growth quality! Dark dark ruby in color, very healthy! Nose red jammy fruits, saddle leather without any greenness, well made! Obviously, people keep saying 1997 is an off vintage, I'm glad to tell you this is not the case for Leoville Barton, a wine of simplicity but pure, acidity and tannins still showing here. 5 years to go minimum.
