Château Léoville-Barton--Vintage 1990
Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting note: Believe it or not, the 1990 Léoville-Barton can actually be drunk - something that cannot be said about the broodingly backward, still excruciatingly tannic 1982. The exceptionally concentrated 1990 reveals more polished, sweeter tannins along with a big, sweet kiss of blackcurrant, forest floor, cedar, and spice box notes. While it still has some tannins to shed, this full-bodied, powerful, long wine is approachable. It should continue to evolve for another two decades. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #183 Jun 2009
