The 1990 Château Léoville Barton is a formidably intense and tannic wine that is now just beginning to flourish and show its true depth and complexity. Wonderfully harmonious on the palate, it is loaded with spicy black fruits alongside subtle notes of liquorice, truffle, cedar and pencil shavings. This is an exceptional release that will continue to develop for at least another decade as the old-school and long-lived wines from this esteemed Saint-Julien 2nd Growth tend to do.
