Details
Château Léoville-Barton--Vintage 1996
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Lot 113 and 114 in original wooden cases
Tasting Note: This impressive wine is a classic. Although backward, it exhibits a dense ruby/purple colour in addition to abundant blackcurrant fruit intertwined with spicy oak and truffle-like scents. The wine is brilliantly made, full-bodied, and tightly-structured with plenty of muscle and outstanding concentration and purity. It should turn out to be a long-lived Léoville Barton, and somewhat of a sleeper. However, patience will be required. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 122, April 1999.
