I love everything that Julian Pineau does. This wine mostly of pineau d anise I believe is no exception. Less peppery more acid driven and mineral driven then others. I wish I had a case as is the case with all his wines. — 3 years ago

Stellar wine. Deep ruby. Black fruits across the board. Acid down. Still some tannin but unwinding gracefully. Bitter chocolate. Sweet tobacco. Cedar. Vanilla. Baking spice. Dried fig. No signs of slowing down. — 7 months ago
Pretty ruby dress with brillance. Open nose, very Burgundian, between red fruits (cherry) and toasted oaky notes. Mouth, consistent with the nose, delivering as you taste many aromatic nuances, undergrowth among others. A lot of freshness yet for this 2015, it can still be drunk and evolve for several years.
Jolie robe rubis avec de l’éclat. Nez ouvert, très bourguignons, entre fruits rouges (cerise) et notes toastées de fût. Bouche en cohérence avec le nez, délivrant à mesure de la dégustation de nombreuses nuances aromatiques sous-bois, entre autres. Pas mal de fraîcheur encore pour ce 2015, il pourra encore être bu et évoluer pendant plusieurs années. — 2 years ago

Complex wine. Earth, leather, med tannins and intesnse finish. Every 30 mins was a chapter and was fun to see it open up. — 9 months ago

Competently made wine, but Leoville Barton is always my least favorite of the Leovilles. Just not very exciting or dynamic. Served with braised short-ribs in a savoy cabbage, with potato Napoleon, confit carrots, and a bitter chocolate jus. The chocolate actually helped the Leoville Barton significantly more than when it was on its own. — 2 months ago
