(Château Léoville Barton) Very dark red violet color; focused, elegant, cherry, cassis and well integrated oak nose; tight yet on palate, but very good, well structured, cassis palate; medium finish

ESTG does Blind Triples (Newcastle, WA): Mmmm, now THAT is a Bordeaux nose. Deep, tobacco, just makes me smile. So fresh, peppery, chewy, tannic, dry but so pleasing. Classic!

Tasted blind next to its 1985 sibling. Clearly younger and more austere, slightly green. Quite classically a Claret, very restrained but paled in comparison to the 1985.

Crimson in color. 12.5% ABV. Gorgeous nose of red fruits, cigar box, saddle leather and graphite. Warm, supple and approachable. There is an abundance of rich, lush fruits. Currants, cassis, tobacco leaf and earth on the palate. The finish is long and silky with mostly resolved tannins. A Léoville Barton of elegance and grace. Best over the next 3-5 years.

NOSE: ripe red fruits; minty; expressive, and starting to present some tertiary character.
BODY: youthful color – violet-garnet with a faint whisper of bricking; color is of medium-deep to deep depth; medium-light to medium bodied.
TASTE: bit watery; some youthful tannin still; medium acidity; light “aged Bdx. funk”; hint of ballpoint pen ink; seems to be in its window right now: Drink Now and over the near term.
