La Réserve de Léoville Barton 2014 (75cl)

The second wine of a St. Julien estate, offering classic Bordeaux character in a more approachable style. It shows smooth dark fruits, a touch of spice and a lovely structure, and is ready to enjoy without long cellaring. On the nose there is ripe blackcurrant and juicy plum, with a hint of cedar and earthy spice. The palate is smooth and elegant, with dark fruit flavours and nicely integrated tannins, leading to a long, satisfying finish.
