Leoville Barton - 2004 (750ml) Pauillac and intense fruitThis is an impressively endowed vin de garde that should age effortlessly for 20 30 years. How Anthony Barton continues to fashion uncompromisingly primordial Bordeaux that are always among the biggest and densest of all the St. Juliens is beyond me, but he does it year in and year out. Moreover, when its time to set the price, he appears to have the consumer foremost in his mind. The 2004 is a classic Leoville Barton meant for long aging.
