1986 Château Léoville Barton

Sunday Dinner Oct 2005. Deep youthful colour with practically no fading at rim. Nose and palate thin and acidic at first, but grew over two hours to a rich complex pleasing but still classic and stringent profile. Great bottle.

2000 Château Léoville Barton

Having consumed the 1982 Leoville Barton recently, I have to say that as great as the 1982 is, the 2000 will unquestionably be even better. In fact, with its ripe fruit and appealing mouthfeel, the 2000 probably has a lot in common with the 1982 when the latter wine was only 4+ years old. That said, what makes the 2000 Leoville Barton more compelling than any other LB that I have ever tasted is the fact that it is an enormous wine, but still harmonious and balanced. It's fleshier, and deeper than any other wine from this house that I've ever tasted (1982, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998), and it doesn't have the same strong tannin character as some other good vintages (1995 in particular). Its almost more like its neighbor Leoville Las Cases, in terms of sheer size and concentration. Over the course of 3 days, the wine continued to improve. I hope to wait at least until 2010 to try again. (96 points)
