Chateau Leoville Barton 1989 is the first wine from Leoville Barton based in St Julien in Bordeaux Left bank, and has been in bottle for 20+ years - one would expect it to lack fruit and have low tannins, but on the nose it is still has red and black fruit notes, along with sweet cigar box aromas, this is echoed on the palate and here it shows elegance and balance, minerality is mixed up in the multi - layers as are tobacco and herbal flavours . It is beautifully structured, has a long sweet finish with black fruits playing its part. An elegant and structured delight.
