Château Léoville-Barton 2000
Saint-Julien, 2ème cru classé
In original wooden case
Tasting note: Consistent from bottle (I tasted it three times), this is an outstanding offering, although not quite at the prodigious level of the 2000. Civilized and approachable for a young Leoville-Barton, it exhibits a saturated plum/purple colour along with classic Bordelais aromas of damp earth, crème de cassis, smoke, vanillin, and tobacco. Medium to full-bodied and rich, with high but well-integrated tannin, and a long, 40+ second finish, it should turn out to be a brilliant effort, and one of the stars of the Medoc. However, patience is essential. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 153, June 2004.
