2003 Chateau Leoville Barton
Description
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年的巴頓酒莊是聖朱利安產區的瑰寶，展現了波爾多釀酒的傳統輝煌。這款酒含13%的酒精度，由69%赤霞珠、27%梅洛和4%品麗珠精心調配而成，散發著黑醋栗、雪松和黑紅水果的複雜香氣。口感上，生動的黑醋栗果味優雅地融合了恰到好處的酸度，並在細膩單寧的長尾韻中展開。建議醒酒兩小時，以充分體驗其深度。無論是搭配烤羊肉、威靈頓牛排，或是蘑菇燴飯和陳年硬質乳酪，都是完美的選擇。
The 2003 Chateau Leoville Barton, a gem from Saint-Julien, is a testament to the grandeur of Bordeaux's winemaking tradition. With an alcohol content of 13%, this wine is a harmonious blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc, offering a complex bouquet of cassis, cedar, and a medley of black and red fruits. The palate is graced with a vivid cassis fruit profile, elegantly lifted by a well-judged acidity, and unfolds into a long finish with fine tannins. Decanting for two hours is recommended to fully appreciate its depth. Perfectly paired with roast lamb or Beef Wellington, it also complements a mushroom risotto or aged hard cheeses beautifully.
