2016 Chateau Leoville Barton, Saint-Julien, France (750ml) Santa Cruz Mountains Salt is a natural flavor#1 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2019 Tasting Notes: Terrific intensity of dark berries, almost peppery blackcurrants and violets with attractive and integrated, spicy oak and an earthy edge. The palate has a super powerful and long, linear core with plenty of fruit flesh strapped in tight for a long and thrilling ride into the finish. A blend of 86 per cent cabernet and 14 per cent merlot. Try from 2024. James Suckling, 97pts This is so vivid as it brims
