Please read: This wine is a Bordeaux Future. It is not expected to arrive in stock until Spring/Summer 2006. Robert Parker Rating 93-95 One of the superstars of the vintage, Leoville-Barton’s 2003 (tasted four times with identical notes) is a powerfully rich, muscular offering possessing a saturated plum/purple color as well as high levels of tannin, low acidity, and inky flavors that have profound depth as well as penetration on the palate. It recalls the 2000 in color saturation and power, but has lower acidity, and a fleshier, fatter mouthfeel. I would assume the alcohol is also slightly high. This formidably endowed St.-Julien should prove to be one of the longest lived wines of the vintage. It will require 4-8 years of cellaring, and will keep for 25-30 years. It is a brilliant offering from proprietor Anthony Barton, who has demonstrated a Midas touch over the last 15 or so years Wine Spectator Rating 95-100 Very impressive licorice, blackberry and mint, some pencil. Full-bodied, with silky tannins. Superlong. Wonderful. Is it as good as 2000? Maybe. Decanter Rating 5 stars Huge colour, nose packed with pure blackcurrant leaf fruit, really fine extraction and lovely length, quite fragrant fresh tasting, true vineyard ripeness, very high quality. 2012-30. Formats Offered: 375ml, 750ml, 1.5L, 3.0L, 6.0L, 9.0L |
