WTN: Life is a Cabernet: ‘04 Leoville Barton

by David M. Bueker » Wed Apr 03, 2024 7:25 pm

  • 2004 Château Léoville Barton - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien (4/3/2024)
    Decanted for four hours, this is classic Bordeaux - mid-weight, fruit in a supporting role, cedar and yes oak, but where it should be, at the end, adding just a dash of spice. The palate is nuanced, each piece properly fitted to the next. It’s not a profound Bordeaux, but rather a perfectly correct one. That’s enough to make me happy.

Nice to see another positive review of an '04.
