CHATEAU LEOVILLE BARTON 1996 |

Château Léoville Barton 1996 St. Julien, 2ème Cru Classé3 slightly scuffed capsules, otherwise excellent levels, appearance, color and clarityAt 20 years old, a real 'thick' nose that indicates tannin - one sees the relationship with the 1986. Plummy, spicy, firm and very 'black' on the palate. A touch of inkiness. The Cabernet Sauvignon comes out very strongly. Huge structure and packed power. For the long term.
