Details
Château Léoville-Barton--Vintage 1985
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé. Château-bottled
Bin-soiled and damaged labels. Levels base of neck or better. In original wooden case
Tasting note: Despite a couple of less than admiring notes, a classic. Deep, rich, sweet and easy, its nose particularly good at the Decanter tasting in 1994. More recently (March 2001): good depth of colour still, yet with a mature tawny rim; beautiful bouquet, fragrant, well knit. Lovely on palate, lightish style, refreshingly dry finish. Most recently: still deep, its lovely texture, wonderful flesh. Last noted lunching at Langoa, Oct 2001 ***** For me the perfect claret. Drink now-2015 Michael Broadbent, Vintage Wine
