Absolute brilliance from Bordeaux, the 1990 Château Léoville Barton is mature yet still youthful, offering awesome darker currant fruits as well as forest floor, cedarwood, smoked tobacco, and subtle earthy nuances. Full-bodied, concentrated, and just about flawlessly balanced, it has a beautiful mid-palate, ripe, still present yet sweet tannins, and a great finish. I don’t see this getting any better, but I also see no reason it shouldn’t evolve gracefully for another decade from cold cellars. It’s another classic, incredibly classy wine from this château.

Varietal Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

The 1990 Leoville Barton is medium brick in color. It shoots from the glass with notes of fruitcake, dried cranberries, potpourri, unsmoked cigars, and cast-iron pan, with hints of ground cloves and incense. The light-bodied palate is fantastically light on its feet and refreshing, with a light chewiness to the tannins and a long, spicy finish.

Wine Advocate

Believe it or not, the 1990 Leoville Barton can actually be drunk - something that cannot be said about the broodingly backward, still excruciatingly tannic 1982. The exceptionally concentrated 1990 reveals more polished, sweeter tannins along with a big, sweet kiss of black currant, forest floor, cedar, and spice box notes. While it still has some tannins to shed, this full-bodied, powerful, long wine is approachable. It should continue to evolve for another two decades. Release price: ($350.00/case)

Deep healthy color. Lively, subtle black cherry and cassis aromas, with a floral topnote. Impeccably balanced and very rich, this wine already displays lovely intensity of flavor and loads of personality. Fresh acids give it a juicy quality. Delicious, ripe finish, with discreet tannins. Excellent value.
