84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot
"Like its stablemate Langoa Barton, the 2019 Léoville Barton is a timeless classic, made for patient
connoisseurs. Offering up aromas of blackcurrants, plums, pencil shavings and licorice, it's fullbodied,
deep and concentrated, its deep core of fruit framed by a chassis of rich, powdery tannin
that makes itself felt on the youthfully firm finish. While it's clearly built for the long haul, its
structural seamlessness and mid-palate plenitude mark it out as one of the finest wines from this
château in recent times. Could it be a more concentrated modern-day version of Anthony Barton's
brilliant 1985? 97" robertparker.com
