The 2018 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2021): 96/100 “The 2018 Léoville-Barton is a gorgeous, exotic wine. Crème de cassis, lavender, menthol, licorice and clove all escape the glass. The 2018 marries the natural opulence of the year with a fairly classic structure, making it one of the most compelling wines of the year. I'd give it a good decade in the cellar. There's plenty to look forward to. I particularly admire the energy and confidence of this wine.”
Vinous (N. Martin - March 2021): 94/100 “This is excellent Léoville Barton whose drinkable character will appeal to many, although I would give it 4 to 6 years in bottle.”
