Leoville and Langoa with Damien Barton Sartorius: The 1953 Leoville Barton seems so much more serious and stern than the absolutely winsome Langoa alongside. But with a little air, this shows its hand and a winning hand it is - beautiful redcurrant, loads of mineral, and accents of leather and cedar. Quite classically mature Leoville Barton on the nose. A touch less vivacity and impact on the palate, which shows the mahogany and fallen leaves nose of mature claret. Nevertheless, a bracingly lovely bottle of mature Leoville Barton that I would drink with great pleasure any time.

Leather Mushroom, maybe some dried fruits

Huge finish, earthy, definitely tastes old, not much fruit, acidic
