Château Léoville-Barton--Vintage 1982
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Levels: eight bottom neck or better and four very top shoulder
In original wooden case
"Most recently, Anthony Barton played a splendid-yet 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 the first wine (in bottles) was the '59 and the second (double magnum) the '61, the latter appearing firmer, less mature, tannic. Only Pierre Lawton suspected the trick; and correctly guessed '82 in different-sized bottles! An eye-opener. Last noted lunching at Ch Langoa, Oct 2001 ****(*)" MB, Vintage Wine
