Description

2014 Château Léoville Barton, St Julien, BordeauxThe 2014 Loville Barton has a seductive and beautifully composed bouquet with ample brambly red fruit, sous bois and light pencil shavings scents. This has real finesse. The palate is well balanced with fine tannins, a keen line of acidity and more salinity than its peers. What feels like top quality new oak smooths the finish but does not impose itself. This is a classy Saint Julien from the Barton family. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10 Year On

Very fine and pure on the nose

Yet the wine is still compact and energetic

Hint of passion fruit

I served alongside a roasted rare topside of fine beef and couldn’t have asked for more - this was absolutely singing

Try after 2025 or later

as the wines have always been quite open and seductive

“Lynch Bages is impressive at five years

confected fruit notes begin to emerge

Explosive nose of ripe

Not so in 2009

such is the profundity of flavour at its core
