2024, Château Léoville Barton, SAINT-JULIEN, 2ème Grand Cru ClasséLast year EP $122. 00 Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc. The 2024 Loville Barton is a very beautiful wine. Black cherry, plum, lavender, new leather, graphite, crushed rocks, mocha and spice all meld together. A wine of classical build, Loville Barton is also wonderfully deep and expressive. Today, all of its energy is directed inwards, but there is a lot of wine here. I can't wait to taste this from bottle. Tasted two times.
