Avis d'expert

19 / 20

Vinum Wine Magazine

(11-2017) While it was much fleshier and even more robust than the 1988 when it was young, it still shows a special concentration today, restrained, initially slightly balsamic aromas that only slowly open up, noticeable, albeit well-rounded Tannin and great length. Needs some aeration, still has aging potential.

Michael Broadbent

(10-2001) Deep but mature looking; sweet, classic nose evolving richly; equally sweet on the palate, complete, its richness masking the tannins.

Jancis Robinson

(08-2022) Dark garnet. Complex nose. Sweet and maybe just a notch riper than ideal for Léoville Barton but giving lots of pleasure now. Bone-dry finish but very Léoville Barton! Lovely nose and some freshness on the palate suggests there is no hurry to drink this.
