Wine is dark red. On nose i had blackcurrants, sour cherry, pepper, cheedar. On palate, its dominated with round tannin and alcohol despite its 13.5%. Mid palate i got the fresh and young berries, ended with low acidity. The wine is half merlot, 43% carb sav, and the rest are carb franc and petit verdot. Enjoy now! Cheers!! — 13 days ago
A delightful white wine! Fresh and lively. We enjoyed it on Christmas Eve with Seared scallops & garlic-herb risotto. — 3 months ago
2007 comparative tasting of the 3 Leoville estates. Almost like a blend of the Las Cases and the Barton. — 3 years ago
The 2009 is amazing.
No decanting, just opened up an hour or so before dinner.
Stunning Bordeaux. Fabulous fruit and character. If we have another bottle of this vintage, we'll try to push it back a few more years.
Trump ought to be shot as a traitor. People who vote for Trump in 2024 ought to be slapped, hard.
Sorry, that's me speaking, not the wine. 🙂 — a month ago
At the vineyard for a tasting with Kathleen, Jay and Josie Barton, Jenny Rhodes. A bit less tannin than the 2020. Bolder than the estate Pinot Noir. — 2 years ago
