What a treat. This wine is tasting spectacular right now. Dried herbal notes, cigar box, faint fruitcake notes, cedar, teakwood, cassis, plums, forest floor. Elegant and lean with a bright, red-fruit driven finish. #leovillebarton #1996 #bordeaux #stjulien — 10 years ago

Woodsy and autumnal nose, forest floor. Ripe wild berries and some umami flavors going on too. This could go longer but why? — 11 years ago
Fantastic. Let it breathe for an hour. Drank w our two friends who own Manousakis Vineyard in Chania. Very special wine that is full bodied with soft tannins. Full of soft cherries and forest floor. It's the bomb — 10 years ago

Showing well, mushrooom and forest floor on the nose, beautiful balance and structure on the palate.. — 11 years ago
1983 - holding much better than equivalent Bordeaux. Rich, torrefaction - deep layers of fruit emerging through heaps of forest floor. — 10 years ago

Wine #15: While clearly my favorite wine of the evening, the price point is a bit high. Lots of dark fruit, tobacco notes, forest floor, spices. Complex and structured. — 10 years ago
