Château Léoville-Barton--Vintage 1985
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé. Château-bottled
In original wooden case
Tasting note: Anthony Barton's 1985 may turn out to be a remake of the Château's splendid 1953. Deep ruby/garnet with a complex, complete, and intense bouquet of sweet, superripe, curranty fruit, minerals, cedar, spice and baked herbs, this medium-bodied wine has exceptional balance, fine length, gobs of fruit, and soft tannin in the velvety finish. This classic Claret is a joy to drink. Anticipated maturity: Now-2007. Last tasted, 9/97. Points: 92. Robert Parker, Bordeaux. A comprehensive Guide, Third Edition.
