Amazing bottle. Part of a 3 bottle vertical of Leoville Barton.
Excellent on the nose right off, the youngest of the 3 bottles in the vertical. Some sediment, but that is to be expected due to age.
Bold and acidic, with notes of leather, oak, and dark fruits. Nice, lighter color to it. An amazing drink, and excellent to compare with the other two vintages. My personal favorite out of the three.

Amazing bottle. Part of a 3 bottle vertical of Leoville Barton.
Rough on the nose upon opening, cork was not in the best condition but not completely ruined. After decanting for a while, the wine opened up and became much more enjoyable. Some sediment, but that is to be expected due to age.
Bold and acidic, with notes of leather, oak, and dark fruits. Nice, lighter color to it. After letting it breath, this was an amazing drink, and excellent to compare with the other two vintages. The weakest of the 3, but if you only gave me this bottle I would have given it nothing but praise. Hopefully I can get another in better condition.

Excellent on the nose right off, even better after after an hour open to air. Some sediment, but that is to be expected due to age.
