Château Léoville Barton St Julien 1855 2ième Cru 2013

Even on the nose you feel that there is depth and interest here, plenty of character at the 10 year point, and even a whisper of appellation signature. This is classic, old school, balanced St Julien, juicy and enjoyable, and one to recommend. Expect cassis and bilberry fruits, autumnal hedgerow, a crackle of campfire, even an edge of crayon. Good. Harvest October 2 and 15, cropped at 35hl/ha.
