Château Leoville Barton 2emé Cru Classé, Saint-Julien, 2021, 75cl 18+ I tasted the 2021 SyrahThe 2021 Loville Barton has turned out beautifully in bottle, wafting from the glass with notes of cassis and plums mingled with subtle hints of pencil shavings, menthol and spices. Medium to full bodied, deep and impressively concentrated, it's layered and refined, built around lively acids and a chassis of sweet, powdery tannin that will reward some bottle age with greater plenitude. It's a real success. William Kelley, Wine Advocate
