Note di degustazione
The 1994 Léoville Barton has a similar bouquet to the Langoa Barton. A touch of peppermint complements the simple but effective black fruit. But maybe the Langoa 1994 has more panache? The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. Well-balanced, old-school, tobacco-laced red fruit partner with a harmonious, tertiary finish. Lovely. Tasted at the château.

It is no secret that Anthony Barton's efforts over the last decade at his St.-Julien estate, Leoville-Barton, is resulting in terrific wines at still reasonable prices. This estate has been extremely successful in recent vintages. An impressive, serious, classic Bordeaux for collectors who are willing to forget about it for at least a decade, this well-endowed offering is a 30-year wine. The dense, murky, purple color, closed aromatics, massive flavor richness, and high tannin recall the old, non-compromised, beefy, blockbuster Medocs produced thirty years ago. However, this wine possesses sweeter tannin, and was made under far more sanitary conditions. It is a classic, but patience is definitely required. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2030.
A mouthful for the vintage, with its lovely berry, chocolate and tobacco aromas and flavors, medium to full body and chewy tannins. Fresh finish. Better in 1999. 21,700 cases made. Wine Spectator 1997.
