2022 Château Léoville Barton
Community Tasting Note
HeavyPourWine Likes this wine:
Tuesday, May 23, 2023 - A week in Bordeaux (Mouton, Pontet Canet, D'Issan, Langoa & Leoville Barton, SHL, Arbo, Pavie, Fleur de Bouard, Cheval Blanc, VCC, Figeac); 5/21/2023-5/26/2023 (Left and Right banks of Bordeaux): Tasted at the Chateau along with two other wines. My first '22s. Not sure how long this saw air before we tasted (the barrel sample was in the bottle and open well before we arrived). Drinking very well now given it's age. More powerful than the '22 Langoa (b/c of more CabSav in the blend). I believe the '22s will need lot of cellar time! 2-3 more points with 10 years of age? Their newly redesigned/renovated facility is really impressive and the grounds are beautiful. Definitely worth the visit! My favorite of the three tasted (my wife's favorite was the Langoa Barton).
