Alles über Chateau Leoville Barton 2006 2006 0.75 L Flasche 2006

- 1920 Punkte WEINWISSER: Sehr tiefes, dunkles Violett-Purpur mir schwarzen Reflexen in der Mitte. Wunderschönes, feines Bouquet, viele Facetten, parfümiertes Cassis, feine Brombeernoten, süsses Edelholz, Mokka, fast zärtlich über die Nase streichelnd. Feinster Gaumen, cremige Tannine, im blau
- und schwarzbeerigen Bereich bleibende Frucht, ein Hauch Kokos, das Finale des erotischen, vielleicht schon früh gefallenden Weins abrundend.
- 18 Punkte Jancis Robinson: Very dark crimson. Sturdy, tobacco leaf, savoury, some leather and then some ripeness and richness. Lots there, lots to draw you in and no excess of dryness even though it is pretty dry Léoville Barton? Very energetic and even quite electric in terms of its impact on the palate. Seems to fade on the finish and then revives and completes the tasting experience.
- 94 Punkte The Wine Independent, Lisa Perrotti-Brown: The 2006 Leoville Barton has a deep brick color. It skips out of the glass with cheery, carefree notes of black cherry compote, redcurrant jelly, and cassis, followed by wafts of dried roses, cinnamon toast, and crushed stones. The light to medium-bodied palate has a rock-solid structure of chewy tannins and just enough freshness to support the generous fruit, finishing long and earthy.
- 94 Punkte JEB DUNNUCK: From one of my favorite estates in Saint-Julien, the 2006 Château Léoville Barton is now fully mature (yet certainly youthful) and has a complex, layered profile that includes ample red and black fruits as well as perfumed notes of leafy herbs, cedar pencil, tobacco, and hints of crushed stone. Medium to full-bodied, nicely balanced, and textured, it has the more focused, straight, classic style of this château front and center, with integrated yet still present tannins, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. A classy, layered, complex, textbook Bordeaux, it's going to continue drinking nicely for another two decades, with a gradual decline after that.
- 94 Punkte WINESPECTATOR: There's a great dark color to this, with intense aromas of cedar, wood, new leather and crushed blackberry. Full-bodied, with loads of fruit and a firm, powerful palate. Long and mouthpuckering. A muscular baby.
- 94 Punkte und Cellar Selection WINE ENTHUSIAST, Roger Voss: Right at the top of its form, this 2006 is one of the finest wines to come out of the vintage. The wine is structured and dense, but with such heartwarming ripe fruit that the tannins are almost submerged. There is just a hint of wood, but juicy black currant continues right through to the end. In a year, the fruit will lessen, and long aging begin.
- 92 Punkte DECANTER, Charles Curtis MW (032025): The evolution of the 2006 Leoville Barton is striking
- once forbidding, it now presents as an elegant, classic claret, boasting red and black fruit accented with notes of cedar and earth. The grapes (78 Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Franc) were picked beginning the third week in September. The texture is supple and approachable, and the once-fierce tannic grip has softened. This wine is ready to drink now, but will easily last another 20 years. 2025-2045 ;
