Lot #12. Léoville-Barton 1975

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 90 RP.
"For a 1975 Medoc, this wine has received surprisingly consistent notes. While it has always revealed some of the severity and austerity of the vintage, it has consistently possessed more depth, sweetness of fruit, and a more expansive texture. There is a firm, tannic framework, but the wine is admirably concentrated, with a classic, herb, cassis, cedar, tobacco, and spicy-scented nose, full body, an impressive palate, a youthful personality, and a long finish. There are no signs of color or fruit degradation." Wine Advocate #103, Feb 1996
Provenance: The Bouvreuil Cellar
Notes: Top shoulder, very lightly scuffed, scuffed, lightly bin soiled, very lightly damp stained, very lightly mold stained label.
