2006 Château Léoville-Barton, Cru Classé St-Julien

2006 Château Léoville-Barton, Cru Classé St-Julien

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 181: Not surprisingly, this wine is closed, masculine, but super-rich, with a denser, more complete and full-bodied style than its sibling, Langoa Barton. Some toasty vanillin is apparent in the black currant aromas intermixed with tobacco leaf, cedar, and spice box. The wine is full-bodied and has a boatload of tannin, not unusual for this estate, as well as an impressively pure, long finish. Everything is here, but this wine, made with uncompromising vision, is meant to be cellared for an exceptionally long period of time. 91+ points.
