The nose is in almost the exact same state as the straight cuvée with its reductive and floral aromas

velvety textures and ocean of licorice

spice-accented red and dark berry and cola flavors and an undercurrent of smoky minerality

Just a touch of warming alcohol pokes through

Leoville Barton other_regions The nose is in almostThis young, primary wine, expresses an elegant style of Leoville Barton. Blackberry, cassis, earth and tobacco scents open up what seems like an early maturing wine for this chateau. The tannins have more softeners and polish that I usually detect in their wine. Give it another couple of years to develop complexities.
