Description
Tasted blind at Farr’s 2002 Bordeaux tasting. A rather taciturn nose but there is obviously good fruit intensity coiled up inside, blackberry, graphite and a touch of iodine. The palate is full-bodied with a lot of dry extract, tannic, austere and rather stoic. Very “classic” in style, but certainly good breeding that will blossom in the future. Tasted October 2009.

Tasting note
2001年的巴頓酒莊展現了聖朱利安葡萄酒的經典優雅。酒精度12.5%,這款葡萄酒在結構和風味之間達到了和諧的平衡。醒酒兩小時後,它散發出成熟紅果、香草和迷人的可可脂與巧克力香氣。口感上,絲滑的單寧和新鮮的清脆感提升了黑醋栗和紅醋栗的風味。新橡木的味道明顯,但也讓果味得以閃耀,最終以悠長、令人滿意的尾韻作結。伴隨著甘草的底蘊,這款葡萄酒承諾著非常有利的演變。理想的搭配包括烤羊肉、紅酒燉牛肉、蘑菇燴飯和陳年乳酪。
The 2001 Chateau Leoville Barton is a testament to the classic elegance of Saint-Julien wines. With an alcohol content of 12.5%, this wine strikes a harmonious balance between structure and flavor. Upon decanting for two hours, it reveals a bouquet of ripe red fruits, vanilla, and a delightful blend of cocoa butter and chocolate. The palate is graced with silky tannins and a fresh crispness that elevates the cassis and redcurrant notes. The presence of new oak is pronounced, yet it allows the fruit to shine through, culminating in a long, satisfying finish. With its liquorice undertones, this wine promises a favorable evolution. Ideal pairings include roast lamb, beef bourguignon, mushroom risotto, and aged cheeses.
