Description

I have for sale 6 bottles of Chateau Leoville Barton in excellent condition. The bottles have been stored in their original wooden case.

93 points Wine Spectator
Shows plenty of mint, currant and mineral character on the nose. Full-bodied, with big and soft tannins. Plenty of mushroom, berry and fruity character. Opulent and beautiful. (JS, Web-2009)

Delightful and fully mature. This was the red wine served (blind) at the AGM lunch of the Royal Household Wine Committee and charmed us all. The 1988s were chunky and austere for so long but, to judge from this wine, the best have come into their own at last. This was beautifully balanced, even if pretty dry but had evolved a delightfully classic perfume. No more than medium weight but with no tannins left in evidence. Very fragrant and complex. (3/2014)

Delicate nose showed it's age and palate had just hints of some fruit but this had matured into a beautiful silky subtle wine. Faded a little (as the '95 came round) but a wonderful wine with some time still ahead of it.

Birthday dinner with family at Pennyhill Park.
Savoury, truffly, earthy brûlée dark hedge fruits aromas. Blackberry, integrated charred oak flavours nicely concentrated in a racy medium bodied frame with a long dry balancing finish.
Excellent if towards the end of its plateau, nonetheless should be good for perhaps another 5 years at this level based on this bottle.

Deep but clear garnet in the glass. Good bouquet of ripe blackberry, blueberry, currant, and ripe red and black cherries. Also floral. Some vanilla and stoney minerality. Red cedar, dark teas, and some damp earth tones. Smells classic and drinks well - in a good place for right now. Tannins have mostly melted away. Not overly energetic but certainly still alive. Very pleasant.

PNP during dinner, very approachable with black currant, cherry nose and palate, with some pencil shave, mineral and earth behind. Tannin is very smooth. A very enjoyable wine.

8/18/2015 - JEREMY HOLMES WROTE:
Fresh nose of graphite and lead pencil coupled with berry and cassis fruit. Nice proportion and balance in the mouth. Some earth and cedar notes. Elegant with a fresh acidity on the finish.

The level was at medium neck. The cork was a little spongy but came out fine. The wine has virtually no sediment. It had been in a very cool cellar. The door was deep red with virtually no warm tones at all. The bouquet was simple toast and old wood. The taste was some berries, light cedar and not as complex as I would have projected. Still friity but less interesting. I believe this wine is still young and has easily half a dozen years to improve Still a charmer.

Yes a little hard still. But great fruit still. Probably at peak now.

6/12/2015 - LIBER LIKES THIS WINE: 92 Points
6th of 9, pnp, perfect level and cork, previous notes fine or better - deepish garnet, lightening rim; nice bouquet of black fruit with secondaries of tobacco, chocolate and some cedar; fuller and more intense mid palate than Las Cases 88 on same night, but less nuance, finesse and persistence, a tad burly by comparison. Fine plus (18/20).

4/10/2015 - EUROPAT55 WROTE: 92 Points
Outstanding nose (B++/A-). Outstanding palate (A-).
My #5, Group's #8 (95 pts). Tasted blind.
