Surprisingly crisp acidity

The intensity of the year has been tempered by lovely mid-palate depth and what feels like dosage that is on the higher end of the spectrum

but clearly with enough depth to fill out over the next year or two

ripe and rounded personality

2010 Château Léoville Barton, St Julien, Bordeaux Sustainable Surprisingly crisp acidity77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22. 5% Merlot, and 0. 5% Cabernet Franc. The style of this vintage is perfectly suited to Loville Barton. Always the epitome of elegance and breed, the wine in 2010 embodies the classical proportions of the vintage with a lovely harmony between fruit, acidity, tannin and alcohol. It is certainly destined for a long life, so put it away for at least 15 years, which will be extremely rewarding. Berry Bros. & Rudd
