CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE BARTON 1996 (2)
Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn. 2 x marked labels. 2 x scraped capsules.
The aromatics unfurl gracefully in the glass revealing briary, wild hedgerow, black truffle and sandalwood scents -- firmly in secondary aroma stage but with appreciable presence and intensity. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin that form its firm and classic structure, spice, white pepper and cloves infusing the slightly animally red berry fruit. This is an adorable Léoville Barton that is occupying a very "happy" place at the moment -- superb precision, old school claret at its best. Decant for an hour no more, then enjoy. Tasted July 2016. Drink: 2016-2035 WA 93
