Had this lovely Barton together with poyferre, same year. This one is more softer and smoother. Mid bodied with good balance, raspberry, dry stone and mint. It is good enough but not better than the perfect one -year of 2010 I had four months ago. — 8 years ago

1st vintage if this wine, so a real treat to try. A little shrill and sharp at the front. Lovely fruit. Still some fresh notes but in a good place age-wise. Doesn't hang together as well as the wines beside it. — 9 years ago

1983 Chateau Margaux bordeaux. Dinner at The G w J&L B and B&K K. Big wine dinner that ended with this bottle. We didn't decant this as it was a game-time decision to consume it, but it was still awesome! Definitely green, tight, and big when first poured, but opened up beautifully. K thought it was very good, but didn't "love" it. — 9 years ago

I suspect this didn't get quite enough air. Not quite pop and pour but it was only open for 45 mins before we drank it (we were perhaps over-concerned about the mid shoulder level). Lovely (and lively) russet core with long legs as a ruby rim; nose of pencil shavings, cigar tubes (hint of metal with lots of tobacco), blackberry stalks, and lingering aromas of compté cheese rind and venerable (on-the-edge) rose petals; long and satisfying - persistent tannins and well integrated but still present acidity. From half bottle - need to give the next one more time!!! — 10 years ago

2010 B Cellars Blend 24. Described as "hedonistic" and "sexy" by Robert Parker. Bursting with fruit, like an exploding blackberry in your mouth. Immense mouthfeel. Little bit of a mint kick at the end — 10 years ago

2001 vintage. Lovely youthful notes here. Still way too young. Plummy and mixed berries, some smokey oak, mulberries. On the palate, medium body, tannins are well integrated, hints of black pepper and nutmeg. White chocolate. Yummy despite its youthfulness. Open in 2025. — 10 years ago
