  At this moment disappointing. Palate a bit lean and angular. Might be in a difficult stage.

  Compared to the parallel opened Leoville Barton 08 this St.Emilion was ready right from the start.
  08 typical mid weighted with red berries, tabaco and some well integrated oak. The lively acidity provides a quite multi layered long final. Good QPR and pleasure over the next 10 years.

  Note from day three after drinking a little over half on day one and recorking/letting rest until day three. Impeccably smooth and succulent. Nose is somewhat muted, but the palate is bursting with plums, blackberries, blueberries, spice, and a long evolving finish. Really impressed on how it has opened up and improved in this time.

  The is the debut vintage for the team of Nicolas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt at the property. They were not involved in the picking, but they were responsible for aging and blending the wine. Now, you pick up floral notes with smoke, plums cherries, and truffle. Medium-bodied, fresh, vibrant and showing sweet, clean, slightly crisp red fruits in the finish, you can drink this now, or age it for a few more years to allow for additional nuances.

  Close to fully mature, there is secondary aromatic development, softness and earthy, spicy, mineral driven fruits, with sweetness and character, but the fruits begin fading quite early in finish. There is no real hurry to drink this, but no reason to age it any longer either.
