The 1996 Vintage ** to ****
"Though upstaged by the attractive 95's, this vintage is better that it was first made out ot be, and improves greatly on acquaintance. Indeed, after looking through my notes, I think it is a seriously underrated vintage....This vintage is worth watching." MB, Vintage Wine
Château Léoville Barton--Vintage 1996
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
In original wooden case
"This impressive wine is a classic. Although backward, it exhibits a dense ruby/purple color in addition to abundant black currant 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 Leoville Barton, and somewhat of a sleeper. However, patience will be required. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #122 (Apr 1999)
