Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Leoville Barton 2eme Cru 2019

97–100
/100

Næsen er utrolig fin, elegant, aromatisk og æterisk. Men så klart defineret. Så klar i det sorte kirsebær, med meget let lakrids. Mynte, eukalyptus, let appelsinskal på siderne, men klart struktureret og blød. Super finesse i næsen. Den fineste tannin allerede her. Intet grønt, blot moden, men alligevel elegant. I munden er der et stort angreb. Vidunderlig stor, frisk syre og smørbløde tanniner. Men pikantheden er fænomenal. Et fantastisk oscilloskop. Stort krydderi og friskhed med masser af lakrids og en blanding af hindbær, blåbær og sorte kirsebær i bunden. Grandios lang, salt, let karamelagtig finish. Stor bredde. Viser enorm spænding, høj energitæthed. En storslået, legende vin, som ikke desto mindre er intenst tæt og opulent. Fuld af modenhed og friskhed på samme tid. Vinen kærtegner, den rammer dig aldrig i ansigtet. Vinen er aldrig overvældende og er saftig og drikkelig. For mig en af de virkelig store Léoville Bartons i min smagehistorie. På samme niveau som Léoville Poyferré. Og alligevel er begge helt forskellige. Poyferré meget mere burgundisk, Barton meget mere sortfrugtet. Grandiose vine. Jeg glæder mig til at smage alle tre Léoville-vine side om side på et tidspunkt. Las Cases var allerede den stærkeste af de tre, men alle tre har ikke meget til fælles. Oprindeligt var det også et slot. Tre store naboer hos Léoville. 97-100/100

The Wine Independent om: Chateau Leoville Barton 2eme Cru

The 2019 Leoville Barton is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs a fait bit of swirling to coax out wonderfully pure notes of blackcurrant jelly, wild blueberries, and boysenberries, followed by hints of tar, lavender, crushed rocks, and fragrant soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is an exercise in elegance, with very fine-grained, silt-like tannins and beautiful tension framing the highly nuanced black fruits, finishing very long and fantastically layered. 98/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Leoville Barton 2eme Cru

The vivid purple, almost blue-hued 2019 Château Léoville Barton is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated wine that includes 16% Merlot. It will spend 18 months in a mix of new and used barrels. Classic Barton notes of cassis, scorched earth, burning embers, new leather, and violets emerge from the glass, and this beauty is full-bodied, massively concentrated, and structured on the palate, yet it has a beautiful elegance as well as a plushness in its texture. Nevertheless, it's not for those seeking instant gratification and is going to need 10-15 years of bottle age to hit maturity. It reminds me of the 1990 and is a great, great wine in the making. If you love Léoville Barton, don't miss this wine! 97-99+/100

Parker om: Chateau Leoville Barton 2eme Cru

Like its stablemate Langoa Barton, the 2019 Léoville Barton is a timeless classic, made for patient connoisseurs. Offering up aromas of blackcurrants, plums, pencil shavings and licorice, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, its deep core of fruit framed by a chassis of rich, powdery tannin that makes itself felt on the youthfully firm finish. While it's clearly built for the long haul, its structural seamlessness and mid-palate plenitude mark it out as one of the finest wines from this château in recent times. Could it be a more concentrated modern-day version of Anthony Barton's brilliant 1985? 97/100

Jane Anson om: Chateau Leoville Barton 2eme Cru

Big rich, powerful wine with pencil lead precision. This is a brilliant wine, I loved it En Primeur and it is delivering on expectations. It's big, as is Langoa in this vintage, with damson and black cherry fruits, and tons of gourmet notes from brioche to bacon rind to chocolate shavings. The tannins are going to need a good decade to soften, but when it is ready, this is going to be such a fun wine to share with friends. 97/100

Galloni om: Chateau Leoville Barton 2eme Cru

The 2019 Léoville Barton has a powerful and comparatively rich bouquet with layers of black fruit suffused with minerals - wonderful delineation. This has an effortlessness about it. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, gorgeous satin-like texture, mineral-driven with hints of truffle and white pepper towards the exceedingly harmonious finish. I thought this was outstanding before - now I think it might be a benchmark. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting. 97/100

Jancis Robinson om: Chateau Leoville Barton 2eme Cru

Tasted blind. Very intense crimson. Restrained nose. Relatively light but with lots buried underneath, so it does manage to be emphatic. Really builds on the finish so that pretty much all the quality is revealed in the (notably dry) finish. 19/20

Léoville Barton er en af de mest kendte og bedste vingårde i Bordeaux og er uden tvivl en af de bedste producenter på venstre bred. Slottet blev bygget i 1758 og har været en del af Bordeaux' elite lige siden.
