2014 Château Léoville Barton, St Julien, Bordeaux UOM It needs time

It needs time

with fine tannins framing the tasty spiced fruit

Chew this slowly after dinner as a fitting finale to any well-lived evening

Juicy acidity and a fair depth of flavour

whereupon it will have the substance to give drinking pleasure over many years

2014 Château Léoville Barton, St Julien, Bordeaux UOM It needs timeThe 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
