Vintage 1997. It’s the most complex wine I’ve had to date. Opened at noon. Put into a filter aerator around 7 and served to me at 9. Wonderful. Tobacco, leather, smoke, and later changing to oxidized apple. So good.

Fuck me! I have never had a Leoville Barton at this level! The nose actually made me hard. Probably smelled it for 15 minutes before my wife told me to eat my damn dinner. This is one sexy bitch. Total balance. Great complexity. Wanting for nothing. Give it a 30 minute decant and sit back and enjoy. I'd happily trade a 2010 Hundred Acre for another one of these. Not going to bullshit you with hints of truffle and smoke and other bullshit...this is just damn fine wine...thy I have had way too much of tonight😳

1997 Leoville Barton
Wow this Rocks. A dry and delicious bordeaux. Nicely aged. I would drink this any time.

Very green wine, lacking fruit but making up for it with graphite; agree that good wine is made in off vintages. A pleasure.

Very ripe and pure on the nose, though a little woody,

True to its reputation- major league Bordeaux blend from St. Julien. Masterpiece.
