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.”
La Revue du Vin de France (Nov. 2020): 98/100 “It offers undeniable refinement. Its black fruit nose is bewitching and irresistible. The palate is harmonious, refined, silky and the tannins integrate perfectly. Superb balance.”
J-M Quarin (February 2021): 94/100

J-M Quarin (December 2019): 18.5/20 “Caressing on the attack, then immediately juicy and full-bodied, the wine is complete on the mid-palate, with brightness in the taste. It melts on the palate with a meticulous texture and deep, long flavors. It's still a little austere, but delicious.”

Vinous (N. Martin - February 2024): 94/100 “Léoville Barton 2014 presents a seductive and beautifully composed bouquet, with ample scents of stalky red fruits, undergrowth and light pencil shavings. This is a wine of great finesse. [...] This is a top-class Saint-Julien from the Barton family.”
