Chateau Leoville Barton 2022 Demi 0,375 l

-  19,5/20 VINUM Wine Magazin: „Superbe Aromatik von Beeren und Gewürzen, blumige Noten sogar; voller Auftakt, gemächliche Entwicklung über Tannin von beispielhaftem Schliff, ewige, fruchtige Länge; sinnlicher, einmaliger Wein der Sonderklasse.“

- 98 Punkte James Suckling, Zekun Shuai (04/2025): „Shows restraint in this opulent year. Quite complete and refined, and you immediately pick up a bit of sweetness from the fruit of this vintage, but it is not over the top. A lot of finesse and length, with structured, dusty tannins. A no-brainer buy from the vintage. 60% new oak. 83% cabernet sauvignon, 11.5% merlot and 5.5% cabernet franc. Drink from 2027.“

- 98 Punkte VINUM, Adrian Van Velsen (01/2025): “ Wie immer Nobel und Tief, ein Duft, der schöner fast nicht sein kann, eine florale Note, die an Veilchen erinnert macht den Wein noch attraktiver; der Gaumen ist wie aus dem Stein gemeisselt, gradlinig, mit Präzision, Rasse und einer unglaublichen Frische, die Tannine sind von höchster Güte, verleihen dem Wein eine Struktur, die ihn wunderbar altern lassen wird. Grosse Eleganz, minutenlanger Abgang. Eine Grazie.(Trinken von 2035 bis 2065)“

- 98 Punkte, JANE ANSON, Inside Bordeaux (04/2025): Retains signature character and architecture, combined with a come-hither ripeness that is all about the 2022 vintage. A brilliant wine, luscious and supple with cassis and bilberry, damson and black cherry along with cocoa bean and mandarin. Delivers confidence and ageability. The Barton family continue to make this wine unmissable. (JANE SAYS Hold +4 years) 2030-2046“

- 97+ Punkte Parkers WINE ADVOCATE: „The 2022 Léoville Barton is performing brilliantly in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, pencil shavings, pen ink, cigar box and spices. Medium to full-bodied, suave and velvety, it's dense and concentrated, with terrific energy and persistence. As readers will remember, it's the first vintage produced in the estate's new winery, which more than doubled the number of vats, permitting sub-plot by sub-plot harvesting and vinification, along with a number of other technical improvements that translate into enhanced purity and precision.“

- 97 Punkte WINE CELLAR INSIDER, Jeff Leve: “ With waves of sweet, perfectly ripe, luscious blackberries, you also find cassis, black cherries, creamy tannins, cigar box, lead pencil, and spice. The wine is deep in color with intensity, layers of fruit, and a finish that takes hold of your palate, and doesn't want to let go, leaving you with fruit that builds and resonates. The wine is a blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11.5% Merlot and 5.5% Cabernet Franc, 14.1% ABV. The harvest took place September 8 - September 23. The yields were 30 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2028-2060.“

- 97 Punkte FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: „Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart schokoladig unterlegte dunkle Waldbeeren, reife Zwetschken, Brombeeren und Lakritze. Komplex, kühler, mineralischer Korper, integrierte tragende Tannine, Kirschen im Abgang, bleibt sehr lange haften, zeigt sicheres Entwicklungspotenzial, salziger Nachhall tolle Zukunft.“
