Wine Advocate#140(4/2002)Rating： 88points Drink：2007-2022
Dry tannin and a backward, austere, muscular, brooding personality characterize Léoville Barton's 1999. However, it is packed with grip, body, and depth. Give it 5-6 years of cellaring and hope the tannin melts away sufficiently for the fruit to come forward. It should last for two decades, but will it ever be balanced? - Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2002)Score：89
Black licorice and roasted coffee aromas. Medium- to full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish. Tight wine. Give it time. Solid Barton. Best after 2004.
Decanter Rating:
Harmonious smoky berry fruit with some honey sweetness. Good weight and elegance on the palate. Rather closed still but has plenty to offer. Drink 2004 |
