2001 Chateau Leoville Barton
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 年的巴頓酒莊來自聖朱利安，是一款經典的波爾多紅酒，展現出優雅和複雜性。這款酒擁有深沉、暗紅寶石色，散發出成熟紅色水果、香草、可可脂和巧克力的香氣。入口後，單寧豐富而絲滑，清新的酸度提升了黑加侖和紅醋栗的果味。新橡木桶的味道突出但融合得很好，帶來悠長而滿意的收尾。這款酒非常適合搭配烤羊排、牛里脊、成熟的奶酪和烤鴨。
The 2001 Chateau Leoville Barton from Saint-Julien is a classic Bordeaux that exudes elegance and complexity. This wine boasts a deep, dark, opaque ruby red color and offers a bouquet of ripe red fruits, vanilla, cocoa butter, and chocolate. On the palate, it reveals plentiful and silky tannins, with a fresh crispness that lifts the cassis and redcurrant fruit. The new oak notes are prominent but well-integrated, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This wine is perfect for pairing with grilled lamb chops, beef tenderloin, mature cheeses, and roasted duck.
