Château Léoville Barton - 2e G.C.C. | St. Julien
Red wine | France, SAINT-JULIEN | 2018
The nose is intense, expressive on minty, spicy and black fruit aromas. On the palate, the flavors of blueberry and blackcurrant are enhanced and the hint of white pepper will surprise you. The tannins are delicate and velvety. The wine is straight, well-balanced and its power is exponential.
