Chateau Leoville Barton 1982

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (92)

This traditionally made, old style, extremely dense, powerful wine requires another 7-10 years of cellaring. An opaque dark garnet color is followed by aromas of sweet cedar, old wood, truffles, smoke, and underbrush. Big, thick, juicy, black currant, and cherry flavors can be found in this muscular, monster-sized, exceedingly tannic, dense, backward wine.

Winespectator (90)

Beautifully constructed, with lovely plum and tobacco aromas and flavors and medium tannins.
