Château Léoville Barton St Julien 1855 2ième Cru 2003
More proof that if you want a great 2003 right now, you should head to St Julien or Pauillac, where the exoticism of the vintage is held in check by savoury Cabernet notes and plenty of tannic grip. You’ll find traces of black truffle, charcoal and crème de cassis exuberance, along with soft blackberry and damson fruits, incense, liqourice root and plenty of cigar box smoky notes. Hard to resist, in its drinking window but no rush to drink. In the Barton family since 1826. 70% new oak.
