2015 Chateau Leoville Barton 2eme Cru Classe, Saint-Julien 6x75cl

Chateau Leoville Barton

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: NR

Forming a poetic blend of plump blackcurrant and cassis notes, Léoville Barton have created a spectacular wine, that with age, develops a delightfully warm cedar character. Its alchemic blend takes us through moments of potent acidity, mellow spices and luscious tannins. Incorporating a mixture of Cabernet Sauvignon (c.74%), Merlot (c.23%) and Cabernet Franc (c.3%), Léoville Barton have created a Bordeaux that thrives amidst the Saint-Julien terroir. Its gravelly-clay soil sees the vineyard withstand whatever weather each vintage brings, culminating in a premium, longstanding wine that performs its best after around 10-15 years of bottle ageing. One of the fourteen Deuxième Grand Cru Classé in the Médoc, demand is always high for Léoville Barton, and we can sure see why.

Neal Martin

The 2015 Leoville Barton is one of the few Saint-Julien wines to show a bit of sur-maturite on the nose. Hints of tinned prune infuse the black cherry fruit. The palate is ripe, very sweet and plush in style. It has a note of peppermint toward the finish that is rather distracting and otiose. Given how this has shown before, I will not rate this. Tasted blind at the 2015 Bordeaux Ten-Year-On tasting at Farr Vintners.

"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Leoville Barton offers up notions of warm red currants, black raspberries and dark chocolate with wafts of cigar box, violets and bay leaves. Elegant, medium-bodied and sporting great freshness, the taut, tightly wound palate of intense red fruits and floral accents is well-framed with firm, grainy tannins, finishing on a lingering mineral note."

Tasted blind. Quite intense ripe blackberry nose. Rich and spreads across the palate. Appealing and fills the mouth. Backbone but no pain! (JR)
