The 2014 Leoville Barton is one of the must-buys of the vintage.
It has a very pure bouquet that gains intensity in the glass, laden with blackberry and raspberry coulis scents, cold wet stone, a wonderful mineralité that becomes more conspicuous with aeration.
The palate is medium-bodied with tensile tannin, a fine line of acidity that lends this precision and nervosité.
There is class and sophistication in situ, not a powerful Léoville Barton, but beautifully poised.
