2014 Château Léoville Barton, St Julien, Bordeaux UOM Soft and integrated tannins giveThe 2014 Loville Barton has a seductive and beautifully composed bouquet with ample brambly red fruit, sous bois and light pencil shavings scents. This has real finesse. The palate is well balanced with fine tannins, a keen line of acidity and more salinity than its peers. What feels like top quality new oak smooths the finish but does not impose itself. This is a classy Saint Julien from the Barton family. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10 Year On
