A spectacular success, the opaque plum-colored 2003 Leoville Barton is still on the young side of its plateau of maturity. It exhibits a striking bouquet of forest floor and black currants as well as a full-bodied, exuberant, youthful style, an opaque plum/ruby color, a lot of complexity, and striking depth and richness. This is a profound, stunning effort from Anthony Barton and his team. Bravo! It should continue to provide immense pleasure for 20-30 years.

Tasting note
2003 年的巴頓酒莊來自法國聖朱利安，是一款非常成功的佳釀。這款酒呈現深沉的李子色，散發出森林地面和黑加侖子的迷人香氣。入口後，酒體豐滿，充滿年輕的活力，展現出複雜性、深度和豐富的層次。優雅的黑加侖果味與濃烈的雪松香氣相得益彰，口感因良好的酸度而提升，並在長時間的餘韻中展現出細膩的單寧。這是安東尼·巴頓和他的團隊所創造的深刻而驚人的作品，預計在未來20-30年內將帶來極大的享受。
