Château Léoville-Barton 2013
St. Julien, Haut-Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, FranceOne of the better 2013 buys in the market you may have to hunt for this one if it isn’t already snapped up. Léoville-Barton is always fragrant when young, mixing red fruit, tobacco and smoky notes on the nose, but in 2013 it seems denser and richer, even showing some caramel notes. The mix is 85/15 cabernet sauvignon and merlot. The palate is similar with lots of black fruit and licorice that fade into a somewhat fleshy, savoury finish. This will hold seven to ten years with no problems. Fine potential and good value.Tasted: 07 November 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:ON | $105.00 | 750ml | LCBO |
