TN Leoville Barton 1996

[Gerhard_P]

I had the 90 LB on Friday that blew away expectations- It was served blind and I sincerely thought it might’ve been a first growth. It showed better than a 90 Mouton from the same cellar. Depth and richness, a little sweet fig note, just great. Would love to source some 96s. Thankfully Leoville Barton has a relatively high production and the wines aren’t too coveted, but man are they archetypal and I’ll never complain about too many in the cellar.

90LB was great in my St.Julien tasting 3weeks ago …
