29 years old and drank incredibly well. What a treat. The big fruits have softened but in their place is now a brooding torrent of notes which evolved from sip to sip. Quite a remarkable wine. — 10 years ago

1995 Leoville Barton. 3rd place behind an '03 Las Cases and an '03 Poyferre in a recent St. Julien tasting. — 12 years ago
This wine reminds me why i fell in love with wine in the first place. Developed dried fruit and leathery aromas. Cherry and subtle perfectly integrated oak on the palate. Deliberate, careful oxidation adds layers to it. This ultra traditional rioja has the finesse and nuance of a great piece of art. One of my favorite producers — 11 years ago
