Just outstanding. Superb balance and great structure and length but this wine seems at its apex in prime drinking territory

A bit funky and leather first pour. Needs an hour decant. Then cleaned up fresher with lovely cassis.

The 2009 Léoville Barton offers a pretty, wild strawberry nose, full of cedar pencil. Layer on layer of naturally sweet mixed berry fruit evolve in the mouth, complemented by sea air and potpourri (elements which the three Léovilles share). There are sometimes Brett problems with this wine and this example is unfortunately affected by this, growing increasingly conspicuous with time. But clean examples are fabulous.

Very good but definitely still in its gangly youth. Try again in 2027.

Glass: Riedel Sommelier Bordeaux
Popped and poured from half bottle. Clear, deep ruby-garnet color. Clean, medium+ intense, developing nose with lots of red fruit, spices and fine tobacco. Beautiful depth and density.
On the palate with a beautiful high, present tanning structure and lively acidity. Fine red fruit, green pepper, salt, violets and fine tobacco. Beautiful creamy texture, dense and deep, great balance and long finish. Starts to sing, but is far away from its peak. Beautiful 94+
