Community Tasting Note

  August 16, 2019 - WOW! I cannot believe it; it's actually arrived in its drinking window. I thought I'd never live to see the day and what a lovely day it is. Leoville Barton is well known for producing classic, old-style Claret and it doesn't get much more classic and old style than this. I've tried this off and on over the years and couldn't believe how stubborn it was in getting to the drinking stage, but the wait has been worth it. Medium to full-bodied it has terrific concentration and, believe it or not, unbelievable freshness. It hits your taste buds like a three year old wine rather than a 33-year-old one. It has become a wine of elegance and it goes without saying that it is not going to fade any time soon.
