97 Robert Parker
Like its stablemate Langoa Barton, the 2019 Léoville Barton is a timeless classic, made for patient connoisseurs. Offering up aromas of blackcurrants, plums, pencil shavings and licorice, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, its deep core of fruit framed by a chassis of rich, powdery tannin that makes itself felt on the youthfully firm finish. While it's clearly built for the long haul, its structural seamlessness and mid-palate plenitude mark it out as one of the finest wines from this château in recent times. Could it be a more concentrated modern-day version of Anthony Barton's brilliant 1985?

96 Wine Spectator
A strapping young wine, offering notes of blackberry paste, plum preserves and black currant coulis that show energy throughout, with plentiful bramble, tar and licorice root accents. There’s a mouthwatering echo of apple wood at the very end, with a flash of violet adding a hint of purity. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2025 through 2042. 11,850 cases made. — JM <br/>

Currants, sweet fruit and fresh flowers on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied with firm, silky tannins that are chewy and powerful. Long and muscular, yet in a toned and polished way. Try after 2026.
95 Vinous
The 2019 Léoville Barton has a gorgeous bouquet, very delineated and quite mineral-driven, offering blackberry and briary scents, a whiff of freshly rolled tobacco and a hint of orange rind. The beautifully balanced palate features sappy black fruit and fine acidity, quite gentle at first but developing wonderful poise and weight toward the finish. I adore the way this grows in the glass but retains an appealing spiciness on the aftertaste. Superb. A testament to the late, great Anthony Barton. 13.88% alcohol

Producer
Château Léoville Barton
Planted amongst the gravelly-clay soils, Château Léoville Barton is a long-established top producer in Saint-Julien. After the French Revolution the original Léoville property was split three estates, one being Léoville Barton, and the other two are fittingly Léoville Las Cases and Léoville Poyferré. Known today as one of Bordeaux’s great-value wines, the 2ème Grand Cru Classé property actually lacks its own château. Vinification therefore, with the same attention to detail takes place at the Barton’s family’s other Saint-Julien holding, Château Langoa Barton. From the early 1800s Léoville Barton has belonged to the Barton family, and Anthony Barton has managed the vineyards since 1986. The Grand Vin Léoville Barton is consistently intense and long-lived, a true Bordeaux meant for extended cellaring. The wine is a medium-full claret with well-thought oak, the fleshy, youthfully firm textures will develop harmoniously with several years’ patience.
