"Dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Fine cassis, black cherries, nuances of nougat, orange zest, inviting bouquet. Juicy, complex, fruity depth, lively structure, pleasant fruit, balanced, mineral, very successful, definite ageing potential." |

“A serious wine that will delight patient purists, but which also showcases the new levels of purity and precision that this estate has been attaining since completion of the new winery, the 2024 Léoville Barton is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Unwinding in the glass with notes of cassis, plums, pencil shavings and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and impressively concentrated, with a taut but nicely integrated profile, concluding with a pure, penetrating finish.” 92-94, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Apr 2025
“The 2024 Léoville Barton was picked from September 24 to October 5 and contains just a little more Cabernet Sauvignon than previous vintages. Matured in 60% new oak, this has an open bouquet with black fruit, potpourri and light sous-bois-scents - quintessentially Barton. The palate is medium-bodied, well balanced and sapid in style with slightly powdery tannins on the entry and a little sinew on the finish that should be abraded during barrel maturation. This is a finely crafted Léoville Barton that should age with grace.” 91-93, Neal Martin, Vinous Apr 2025
