What to Expect

Arguably the most renowned wines on earth, the classed growths of Bordeaux continue to epitomize the power and complexity Bordeaux blends are capable of. While most wines here are based on Cabernet Sauvignon, both Merlot and Cabernet Franc play important roles in adding layered complexity to the finished wines, and allow winemakers in each commune within the region to use the blend that is best suited to their unique combination of soil and meso-climate. The most famous communes each have their own classic traits with St. Estephe giving full, if rustic wines, from the heavy clay soils, to Paulliac's elegant balance of ripe fruits, minerality and structure to St. Julien's rich blackberry core and supple feel. Moving to the South of the region brings one to Margaux, with its notes of flowers and berries draped over a feminine frame, and then to the Graves region with wines redolent of tobacco, gravel and smoke. To the East lies the famous appellations of St. Emillion, with its wonderfully ripe Cabernet Franc, and Pomerol where Merlot rules the roost and produces deep, plush wines of uncommon refinement.

Wine Spectator ReviewRated 96Delivers breathtaking aromas of blackberry, currant, licorice and flowers. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and supersilky tannins. Dark chocolate, currant, berry and licorice follow through. This is racy and beautiful. Best after 2015.

Parker review: Another prodigious, but brutally tannic, offering from the affable AnthonyBarton, the inky/blue/black-hued 2005 Leoville Barton exhibits a sensationalperfume of charcoal, burning embers, underbrush, cedar, creme de cassis, andsubtle toasty oak. Painfully concentrated (much like the 2000 was at the samestage), with full body, admirable purity, and several boatloads of musculartannin, this St.-Julien is built for 50-60 years of cellaring. Its purity andprecision are typical of today's winemaking, but Barton is certainly not makinga wine for near-term gratification. read more...
