Château Leoville Barton St. Julien 2004
Wine Enthusiast There are huge new wood aromas, and these follow through to the flavors. But there are also black currants and fresh acidity. Score: 95. —Roger Voss, June 01, 2005. Wine Advocate This is an impressively endowed vin de garde that should age effortlessly for 20-30 years. How Anthony Barton continues to fashion uncompromisingly primordial Bordeaux that are always among the biggest and densest of all the St.-Juliens is beyond me, but he does it year in and year out. Moreover, when it’s time to set the price, he appears to have the consumer foremost in his mind. The 2004 is a classic Leoville-Barton meant for long aging. Concentrated, with loads of smoke, creme de cassis, forest floor, and earthy notes emerge from this impressive, but oh, so backward wine. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030+. Score: 92. —Robert Parker, June 2007. Wine Spectator Lovely, with a pretty balance of fruit and ripe tannins. Full-bodied yet refined. Silky and beautiful, with blackberry and mineral character. Gorgeous for the vintage. Very close to 92-94. Score range: 89-91 Score: 91. —James Suckling, June 30, 2005. |
