CHATEAU LEOVILLE BARTON 1989 |

Château Léoville Barton 1989 St. Julien, 2ème Cru ClasséExcellent levels and appearanceRoasted currants nose, very 1989. Roasted chocolate taste - heady and exotic. Blackberry liqueur. Sumptuous and almost 'oriental'. Completely eclipses the 1990. A recent bottle had a glorious cassis nose, utterly 'oriental' and spicy. So complex - divine. Aniseed and cassis - so gummy.
