Description

Château Léoville Barton 2000

St. Julien, 2ème Cru Classé

u. 12bn, 2 slightly scuffed labels, 2 import stickers overlapping main label, slightly scuffed capsules, 1 slightly nicked capsule


In 2017, there is absolute, pure class on the nose, right from the outset. On the palate, lots of black fruit, volume, verve and a real voluptuous character. This has decades in front of it. A stupendous Léoville Barton, not to be missed at any cost - which, by the way, is below what it deserves, a boon for wine-loving drinkers. The quality of the vintage really sings.
