TN: 2005 Château Léoville Barton

Vino MeMember

Served blind. 4th time I have had this wine with the last time being 8 years ago. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. This is still improving. Blackish red color. Moderate sediment. Decanted 4 hours before drinking. Notes of tobacco, currant, tea, lead pencil and wet earth. A little leaner than I remember. Supple tannins. 95 points.

Think a 3L bottle will be ready in 2030?

Probably the start of it's drinking window. Do you have a 3L? I have 9 750ml bottles left from my case of futures so we can always pop those to see how it is progressing.

I do, half-owned with Dan. Would love to try one from 750 some time.
