Château Léoville Barton 2011 CBO(6x75cl) 90-92+/100 WA
Couleur intense et belle. Nez fin, fruité de type mûr. Superbe entrée en bouche ample,le Léoville Barton 2011 se développe avec un gras fin, un beau goût de mûre, un corps ample et allongé à la fois. Très belle finale savoureuse et complexe relayée par des notes aromatiques fines. C'est un délice qui évoque le beau cabernet sauvignon.JMQ-www.quarin.com
Leoville Barton's 2011 is head and shoulders above its sister offering, Langoa Barton. Although not as backward as I expected given the general style that emerges from Anthony Barton's beloved St.-Julien estate, this wine will need time in the bottle once it is released in several years. An opaque purple color is followed by aromas of damp earth, underbrush, black currants, cedar and hints of vanillin and incense. Medium to full-bodied and moderately tannic with good acidity as well as excellent delineation and purity, it should be forgotten for 4-5 years, and drunk over the following two decades.Robert M.
