Community Tasting Note

Sunday, December 11, 2005 - San Francisco Bay Area Leoville Barton Vertical (Moraga): Medium ruby red. Tasted against the 1989, this wine showed a more aggressive, tannic mid-palate and a more subdued nose, both suggesting this wine needs some more time in the bottle. Perhaps most similar in style to the 1982, but lacking just a bit of the sheer power and grip on the mid-palate and finish that that wine shows and showing a little less finesse at this stage.. Could be quite impressive in 5-10 years, but right now showing a little below its perennial competitor, the 1989...
