The 1985 Leoville Barton is a glorious wine and certainly more approachable than the ’86. The bouquet is ravishing with roasted herbs, fennel, sous-bois and a touch of black olive…a nod to the Graves here. Wonderfl definition. The palate is very smooth and sensuous, bright red-berried fruits, more savoury than I recall with white pepper and a touch of tar towards the rounded, chestnut-tinged finish. Superb length here.
