Description
This is a behemoth – dense, highly extracted, very tannic, broodingly backward, with a dense purple color and very little evolution since it was bottled 8 years ago. Wonderfully sweet cedar and fruitcake notes are intermixed with hints of creme de cassis, licorice, and earthy forest floor. It is full-bodied and tannic, with everything in place. WA 95+

Tasting note
2000年的巴頓城堡酒是聖朱利安葡萄酒的典範，它以黑果的豐富旋律和雪松的細微香氣，加上一絲可可黃油的香味，展現了非凡的風格。口感中，雪松的味道與極細膩的天鵝絨般單寧交織，豐富而成熟的黑果核心與酒精的平衡相得益彰。餘韻悠長，展現出果實濃縮的卓越品質，並暗示著這款酒隨著時間的推移，還有進一步演化的潛力。
The 2000 Chateau Leoville Barton is a testament to the grandeur of Saint-Julien wines, offering a symphony of dark fruits interlaced with notes of cedar and a hint of cocoa butter. The palate is graced with cedary overtones and a tapestry of very fine, velvety tannins. This wine's dark-fruit core is both rich and ripe, with a balanced alcohol presence that complements its structure. The finish is long and indicative of the wine's superb fruit concentration, hinting at its potential to evolve further with time.
