Ch Léoville Barton 2021 St-Julien
17 ++
84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample.
Minerally and racy with a density that is often missing in 2021. Layers of fruit and plentiful but refined tannins. Structured and persistent, the quality of the vineyard appreciable. Fresh and well defined. Good balance. Definite potential. (JL)
