(50% whole clusters)

There is very good verve to the utterly delicious and slightly finer medium weight flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the balanced and harmonious finish

but they are delivered in a more undertone and one-dimensional manner

Stronger balsamic notes emerge with time in the glass

This is certainly impressive but the Griotte has that something extra in 2015

Leoville Barton other_regions (50% whole clusters)This young, primary wine, expresses an elegant style of Leoville Barton. Blackberry, cassis, earth and tobacco scents open up what seems like an early maturing wine for this chateau. The tannins have more softeners and polish that I usually detect in their wine. Give it another couple of years to develop complexities.
