A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon

There is plenty of amber at the edge

and richness that it must be tasted to be believed

and wild blueberry among the array of scents leaping from the glass

Leoville Barton - 2000 (750ml) Size:750ml A blend of 85% CabernetI found this to be one of the more backward wines of the 2000 vintage and gave it a window of maturity of 2015 2040 when I reviewed it in 2003. In my two recent tastings of it, I changed that window to 2018 2050, which probably says more than the following tasting note could say. This is a behemoth dense, highly extracted, very tannic, broodingly backward, with a dense purple color and very little evolution since it was bottled 8 years ago.
