CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE BARTON 2009 (1)
Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
u. bn.
Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Leoville Barton gives up expressive cherry cordial, warm cassis and blackberry tart scents with nuances of menthol, cigar box and fallen leaves. Medium-bodied and elegantly played with loads of freshness and soft tannins, it has a long, perfumed finish. March 2019 Drink to 2037 WA 94
CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE POYFERRÉ 2000 (3)
Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
u. 1 x bn. 2 x vts. 2 x marked labels. 2 x scraped capsules.
The plushest, most ostentatious and dramatic of all the Leovilles in 2000, this wine is already sumptuous, displaying some nuances in its huge nose of vanilla bean, black chocolate, jammy black cherries, cassis, and graphite in a flamboyant style. Opulent, savory, rich, and full-bodied, it is a head-turning, prodigious wine and a complete contrast to the extracted behemoth of Leoville Barton and the backward, classic Leoville Las Cases. The Poyferre’s low acidity, sweet tannin and an already gorgeous mouthfeel make it a wine to drink now as well as over the next 25 or more years. June 2010 WA 97
