Château Léoville-Barton--Vintage 1975
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Levels: two bottom neck and seven top shoulder; lightly bin soiled labels
"For a 1975 Medoc, this wine has received surprisingly consistent notes. While it has always revealed some of the severity and austerity of the vintage, it has consistently possessed more depth, sweetness of fruit, and a more expansive texture. There is a firm, tannic framework, but the wine is admirably concentrated, with a classic, herb, cassis, cedar, tobacco, and spicy-scented nose, full body, an impressive palate, a youthful personality, and a long finish. There are no signs of color or fruit degradation. With 1-2 hours of decanting, this wine can be drunk now; it promises to age for another 15+ years." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, #103 (Feb 1996)
