Reseña profesional
Believe it or not, the 1990 Leoville Barton can actually be drunk – something that cannot be said about the broodingly backward, still excruciatingly tannic 1982. The exceptionally concentrated 1990 reveals more polished, sweeter tannins along with a big, sweet kiss of black currant, forest floor, cedar, and spice box notes. While it still has some tannins to shed, this full-bodied, powerful, long wine is approachable. It should continue to evolve for another two decades.
Very dark crimson. Sweet and lush and gamey. Not very Barton. More 1990 – a vintage whose lush velvety character almost invariably asserts itself over terroir and man. Lovely wine though.
