Chateau Leoville Barton, Saint Julien, 1990

Dark red deep color towards lighter amber rims

An impressive ripe Bordeaux nose beautifully blended with some dusty oak notes.

Soft on the entry but captures the mouth seconds later to reveal chewy tannins blended with chocolate and dried prunes flavor.

The finish is fairly balanced yet somehow shorter than expected.

The nose opens-up after 20 minutes to portray some more ripe fruit flavors with some mild spice.

Harsher greener tannins kept appearing and disappearing shortly after swallowing in the mouth.

The wine failed to gain any further development.

Lacks complexity to make this wine interesting enough to look for.

Drink 2005-2008.

Tasted Jan. 14th 2005.

I was taught to finish what I order.

Life taught me to order what I enjoy.

The art of living taught me to take my time and enjoy.
