1982 Château Léoville Barton

St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more

4/28/2024 - Araldinho Likes this wine: 96 points

Brick red.
Aromas of cassis, tobacco, espresso, stable, cedar and forest floor.
Lively grainy tannins. Perfectly tuned blackcurrant acids and dark chocolate bitterness.
Palate of cassis, sloe, cloves, blackberry preserve, walnut and singed wood.
A rather powerful, multi-layered and vivacious Medoc with ripe black fruit, exquisite spicy and nutty aromas and a long bittersweet finish. Drink within 10-15 years. Tasted 2024.
Tasted alongside Ch Talbot 1982 and the present wine was powerful with livelier acidity but not as elegant as the matched wine.

Loaded with fruit- still balanced. Flavours unsubtle and punchy. Tannins starting to fade. Getting pale at the edges. Drink now

Decanted for 3 hrs - Still very tight. Started coming around after another hour or so. Will rest my other for at least 5 more years.

Lovely colour as it hit the decanter. A smooth wine with still a fair amount of stuffing. Notes of iron filings, smoke, earth and caramel. Amazing for a 42 year old wine.

Bottle 8 years ago disappointing, after bottle nine years ago was great. I needed to wait. This is beautiful-fruit (black cherries and other dark fruits are still there), but it remains an elegant wine, with integrated tannins. So smooth in the mid palate, and lingers at the end. I am sold on well made 20+ year old Bordeaux. Had with burgers, albeit Wagyu beef burgers.

Excellent - better than the previous time we drank a bottle. Smooth and well balanced (fruit and tannins) - tasted against La Lagune 2006 and this one was fuller and more balanced

Another 2004 horizontal (Hawksmoor Guildhall): A late bonus bottle... glad we opened it. Really dry, dusky, grown-up nose. Deeply savoury on the palate, with the suggestion of cassis and truffle. Again, very dry - not eager to please, but undeniably pleasurable. My #3, the group's WOTN (again).

Deep and exuberant cassis and ripe blackcurrants to the nose, with already soft tannins and full bodied weight. This is without great precision and edging towards being confected, but mocha, smoke and oak add a touch of depth to the ripe fruit. The finish is somewhat limited, but loaded with gravelly dark fruit. A lovely daily drinker.

April BYO (Bodø, Norway): The wine is dark red. Nose with metallic blackcurrants, tobacco, coffee, and equestrian sports. In the mouth, it tastes of stable, lead, dark dense fruit, as well as something minty. The fruit is concentrated and somewhat angular, which makes me blindly think we are in Pauillac. We weren't!

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.

Left to air 30 minutes in the bottle. It is starting to show its age so we’ll drink our last bottle quickly.

This was lovely, and paired very well with a rack of lamb, radicchio in gruyere sauce, and a table-side dressed homemade ceasar salad. Greg made the lamb, Jim made the ridicchio and I made the ceasar. The wine paired especially well with the lamb. Delicious stuff. Still a baby, and lots left here for the long haul.

Very well made 2nd wine of Chateau Leoville Barton. Very much St Julien. Two hours slow decant. Red fruit and spices. Velvety and balanced. Medium tannins. Very good to drink now

Jonathan’s/Nick’s 04 Bordeaux (Hawksmoor Guildhall, London): A late entry off the subs bench under the table, so a quick decant and no more. First look at this since purchasing a. Axe on the strength of its showing at the Bibendum 05 and 04 EP tasting at Lords in 2006. Yup, money well spent. Dense ruby. Young but resolved. Served a touch warm but holding itself together nicely, some blackcurrant, sandlewood, very harmonious even after ice cream! ****

Around 80p.
Too acidic and only a small showing of Bdx typicity.
Mainly an over-polished CS with poor personality.
Maybe time will do some magic here, but I doubt it.

Still fresh after 30 years! Medium to dark color, fruity nose. No decant. When the cork was out, a smell of ripe fruits, cherry, blackberry and leather, tobacco filled the environment. Very balanced and silky finish. Will definitely hold a couple of more years.

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.

Tasted blind. Amazing wine, the nose is opulent full of blackberry jam, some greenness and lots of tobacco soft sweet tannins and wonderful mouthfeel. Tasted next to the 2001 Barton which wasn’t nearly as good.
