Chateau Leoville Barton Reserve de Leoville Barton 2020 Demi 0,375 l

- 92 Punkte, Wine Enthusiast: „This second wine of both Langoa and Léoville Barton is full of ripe fruit. Tannins are initially gentle and then show a firm structure to support the blackberry flavors. The wine will be ready from 2026.“

- 90 Punkte VINOUS, Neal Martin Southwold Tasting (11/2024): „The 2020 La Réserve de Léoville-Barton is a touch austere on the nose, with pine-fresh red fruit and neatly integrated oak—open and expressive. The palate is fleshy on the entry with admirable fruit concentration. It's a touch more exotic than its peers on the finish, with marmalade and blood orange notes and a slightly honeyed texture, yet it manages to retain balance. This is thoroughly enjoyable. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. 2027-2042“

- 90 Punkte FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: „Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Kräuterwürze, zart tabakig unterlegte rote Waldbeernuancen, etwas Unterholz. Mittlerer Korper, rote Kirschen, frischer Säurebogen, mineralisch-salziger Abgang, bietet unkompliziertes Trinkvergnügen.“

- 90 Punkte, JEB DUNNUCK: „A wine that functions as the second wine for both Léoville Barton and Langoa Barton, the 2020 La Reserve De Léoville Barton is based on 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc. It's a medium-bodied, straight-up delicious, elegant wine offering lots of red and black fruit, some earthy, herbal, and spicy notes, soft tannins, and outstanding length. It's already drinking nicely, and I see no need to delay gratification, although it will certainly evolve for a decade. 2023-2033“
