Chateau Leoville Barton 2eme Cru 2016

97–100
/100

Jeg har smagt Chateau Leoville Barton flere gange i år 2016, og vinen viser en utrolig, næsten ekstrem Cabernet-orientering. Cabernet'en er moden, og vi har en utrolig udtryksfuld næse her. En næse så dramatisk som måske Leoville Las Cases, på samme tid moden og frisk. Ekstremt udtryksfuld, meget krydret, meget solbær, sammen med sorte kirsebær, brombær, underskov, mørk lakrids. Meget tæt, meget frisk og alligevel fin. Der er nogle vingårde, som har opnået den klassiske, modne Cabernet-stil med et stort pres i år. Der er en Giscours i Margaux, en Las Cases og Leoville Barton i Saint Julien. Det er også til dels tilfældet i Saint Estèphe og i de nordlige dele af Medoc. Munden: Modent drama. Så meget intensitet i Cabernet, så meget solbær, brombær, lakrids, violer. En utrolig mængde kraft og alligevel stilfuld. Viser stor elegance, stor friskhed. Dette er Leoville Barton i en særlig form. Som om jeg ikke har smagt den i årevis. Som om den heller ikke var i 2015. Dens karakteristika er så tydeligt på linje med Leoville Las Cases, og for at være retfærdig er den to point efter den. Og Poyferré kan heller ikke slås. Ikke desto mindre er det en af de bedste Bartons, jeg har smagt i lang tid. Måske endda bedre end de storslåede 2009'ere og 2010'ere. Klart bedre end den ikke så modne 2005'er. Barton i topform. 97-100/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Chateau Leoville Barton 2eme Cru

This is a powerful wine, with superb tannins and blackberry fruits. It has a dense texture allied to stylish fruitiness and acidity. The result is a wine with the potential to age over a long period of time, while probably showing well starting in 2028. 97–99/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateau Leoville Barton 2eme Cru

This is so vivid as it brims with pastis-soaked plum, blackberry, black currant and blueberry paste flavors, all carried by a perfectly integrated brambly spine. Tar and ganache notes give the finish an extra kick while everything stays within the mouthwatering roasted apple wood frame. Both regal and rambunctious, this is St.-Julien to a T. Best from 2025 through 2040. 97/100

Parker om: Chateau Leoville Barton 2eme Cru

A brilliant young wine, the 2016 Léoville Barton unwinds in the glass with aromas of cassis, dark berries and cigar box mingled with subtle hints of loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's seamless and exquisitely balanced, with beautifully refined tannins, bright acids and a long, penetrating finish. Its structural refinement is such that it's far from forbidding to open right now, yet patience will be richly rewarded. 97/100

Suckling om: Chateau Leoville Barton 2eme Cru

Terrific intensity of dark berries, almost peppery blackcurrants and violets with attractive and integrated, spicy oak and an earthy edge. The palate has a super powerful and long, linear core with plenty of fruit flesh strapped in tight for a long and thrilling ride into the finish. A blend of 86 per cent cabernet and 14 per cent merlot. Try from 2024. 97/100

International Wine Report om: Chateau Leoville Barton 2eme Cru

The 2016 Château Léoville Barton is utterly captivating in this vintage. It is composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot opens to pretty aromatics of currants and red berries woven together with sweet exotic spices, pipe tobacco, graphite and fresh florals all releasing from the glass. On the palate this medium-full bodied Saint-Julien continues to impress with its gorgeous plush texture and supportive tannins, along with its outstanding overall concentration. It displays remarkable balance of ripe fruit and bright acidity through the long, precise finish. This has it all, and while it will certainly require some significant cellaring readers will certainly be rewarded in due time with an absolutely beautiful wine. 97/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Leoville Barton 2eme Cru

Deep purple-colored and a classic Saint-Julien with its pure crème de cassis, graphite, liquid rock, and essence of lead pencil shavings, the 2016 Château Léoville Barton is full-bodied, concentrated, and backward, with bright acidity and ripe yet certainly present and building tannins. This old-school, classic Léoville Barton has a fine thread of acidity keeping the wine focused and fresh. It’s a beauty, but mostly potential at this point, although it does have beautiful fruit. Savvy readers will hide bottles at the back of their cellar, and I wouldn’t start to think about opening bottles for a least a decade. It’s going to be incredibly long-lived. The blend of the 2016 is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot, brought up in 60% new French oak. 96/100

Galloni om: Chateau Leoville Barton 2eme Cru

The 2016 Léoville-Barton is fabulous. A wine of breadth and power, the 2016 has so much to offer. The black cherry, chocolate, gravel, smoke and licorice flavors are all boldly sketched. A host of expressive savory and mineral notes develop into the substantial finish. 96/100
