Château Léoville Barton Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2003
Intense blackberry and cherry, with hints of currant. Toasted oak and sweet tobacco too. Roses and other flowers, such as lilacs. Full-bodied, with masses of tannins yet incredibly long and seductive... Wine Spectator

Ripe and intense. Dark red fruit, tobacco, leather. Rustic compared to the 2000 alongside.

A meaty, dark nose. Tobacco, plum, herbs, brooding, sweet and no sign of too much heat. Long and serious. Delicious.

Quite primary fruit still. Plummy dark stuff with a hint of tobacco and a sour cherry note. Relatively simple but nice and savory. Good.

Plums, briars, garrigue, tobacco. This is a lovely, complex wine. Any ripeness has great balance.

From magnum. Surprised at how well this is drinking and one of my favorite wines from a vintage I hate. No stewed fruit here.

A wonderful big wine. Now a delicious mix with faded primary and tertiary flavors in one. Cherry, blackberry and ripe cranberry, saddle, herbs. A long finish that reverberates the initial flavors and adds a hint of eucalyptus. A lot going on, but all balanced.

12 years didn't do anything to this wine. For a hot vintage, theres a lot of freshness, with high tannins to balance. Dark and brooding. This wine hasn't even hit the peak yet and will live on for 20 - 30 years.
