Head and shoulders above its stablemate, Langoa Barton, proprietor Anthony Bartonandrsquo;s 2009 Leoville Barton is another massive, excruciatingly rich, tannic, potentially long-aged wine. Meant for consumers with old fashioned tastes, it boasts a dense opaque purple color as well as a bouquet of licorice, forest floor, unsmoked cigar tobacco and a hint of earth. The wine reveals tremendous denseness and richness, a broad, savory mouthfeel and elevated tannins in the finish. However, there is a sweetness to the tannins and no trace of bitterness and astringency, always a sign of a top vintage as well as fully mature grapes. Still a monolithic baby, this 2009 should be forgotten for at least a decade, and consumed over the next 30andndash;50 years.

Winemaker's Notes:

"This has a fabulous nose of currants, dried flowers, and tons of dark fruits. Full bodied and chewy, with round tannins and a muscular body. This is big and juicy with lively acidity.
