Chateau Leoville Barton 2012

Lovely flowery bouquet with notes of acacia. The palate is well balanced, with no harsh tannins indicating relatively early maturity.

Blend: 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc

94+ Points – Wine Enthusiast

Firmly tannic, this wine is dry and extracted. There’s potential for this powerful, impressive wine to bear the wine’s very dry character with the weight of its fruit.

92 points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Dense ruby/purple, with cassis licorice and forest floor notes in the aromatics, Leoville-Barton’s 2012 is a relatively big, rich, masculine style of wine. This full-bodied wine needs 5-8 years of cellaring and should evolve easily for 25-30 years.
