Details
Château Léoville-Barton--Vintage 1995
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Tasting note: Somewhat closed and reticent after bottling, but still impressive, this 1995 possesses a dark ruby/purple colour, as well as an oaky nose with classic scents of cassis, vanillin, cedar, and spice. Dense and medium to full-bodied, with softer tannin and more accessibility than the 1996, but not quite the packed and stacked effect on the palate, the 1995 is an outstanding textbook St.-Julien that will handsomely repay extended cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2025.
