Inky royal purple color. Nose is blackberry pie, herbal and chocolatey. Hard to say how a young wine could find better balance. Incredibly pure fruit, acid, fine tannins and structured. Black and blue fruited and graphitic. A little tar and anise. Beautiful and long finish. Near the top of the 2019s I've had so far.
Thinking this is a drink more soon or lay down for a while situation. Seemed most open for business in the first four hours. Tightened up a bit after that.

Clearly young however immensely concentrated and sensationally rich. All the black fruit, leather and tobacco you could ever hope to wish for. Profound stuff. Very much excited to revisit down the line.

Tasted this at the International Congress of Chinese Cuisine & Wine, Chateau Leoville Barton, Chateau Langoa Barton & Chateau Mauvesin Barton Masterclass at The Tower Club.
Smooth. Very smooth. This is a piece of work. Dense. Cream and vanilla on the nose.

Very good now, but too young. Has a lot of potential.
