(Chateau Leoville-Barton) Out of the gates a nose of toasty earth, cinnamon, slight Cabernet bell pepper aromas, wet earth, mint, red currants. After a while in the glass it got very floral and really developed. A hint of white pepper. Soft palate with nice silky mature red fruit flavors. Great concentration and a cool hint of wintermint life saver lingers on the finish with some slight unevolved tannin. Very nice.
