JoshT322 Does not like this wine:
February 11, 2023 - 5/10 - unbalanced, still has medium tannins and some acid. Nose is medium with woodland, earth, mushroom being the predominant notes. Would not drink again

January 22, 2022 - Drinking well, it is probably better to have it with food. It is logical that second wines relatively mirror the principle estate wine, and this is the case here. It was a good year for Léoville Barton but not great and it is the same for the Réserve. All in all it is a decent everyday drinker and with a structure for a good few years ahead.

July 31, 2020 - Good sturdy claret even if not the most complex. Likely to be on its plateau for some time yet.

January 12, 2020 - Cassis, pencil shavings, medium body, retaining a savoury freshness despite its age. Tannins are still noticeable on the end and a little bit drying. Enjoyable, not especially complex and drinking well now.
