Lot #88. Léoville Barton 1985

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 95 NM.
"This Léoville Barton is on blistering form. An absolutely stunning nose even when compared next to Las-Cases 1985 with an almost Right Bank lusciousness and voluptuousness about it. Ripe red-berried fruits, cherries, just a faint hint of toffee apple and hot bricks. The palate is beautifully controlled, exquisitely balanced and blessed with effortless harmony. I have a feeling this is the best Léoville Barton 1985 that I will ever taste. À point . . . . Tasted April 2007. Neal Martin, Wine Journal, Dec 1999
Notes: 1 Very top shoulder, 1 top shoulder, 1 nicked, very lightly corroded capsules, 1 very lightly scuffed, 1 lightly scuffed, 1 nicked, stickers partially covering labels.
