Details
Château Léoville-Barton--Vintage 1982
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé. Château-bottled
Damaged capsules. Badly bin-soiled and stained labels. Levels: one base of neck and one top-shoulder with slightly depressed cork
Tasting note: Anthony Barton played a splendid - indeed astonishing - trick on his guests, mainly Bordeaux négociants and courtiers, serving the same wine, his '82 Léoville, in two sizes of bottle, standard and double magnum. Both were very good; both were distinctly different, to the extent that I thought that the first wine (in bottles) was the '59 and the second (double magnum) the '61, the latter appearing firmer, less mature, tannic. ****(*). M.B. (Oct 2001)
