Château Léoville-Barton 1988

St Julien, 2nd growth

Extremely well-made classic left-bank Bordeaux: black fruit (not as clearly cassis as in some), cigar box, graphite, herby, and vegetal notes. Intense and complex: we didn’t have much time to appreciate it, and there was clearly more going on than we properly fathomed. In no way does it feel old; I would judge it is only just entering its peak drinking window.
