VertdeVin
The nose reveals notes of ripe cassis, small berries, juicy fruits, spices and notes cigar box associated with woody notes. The palate is elegant, fruity, spicy, fresh and harmonious. A beautiful smooth and light texture (the elegant sense without heaviness) in the mouth. The tannins are firm and need time. A very elegant wine leaves in your mouth, if I may say a taste of “ come back, drink me again”
Wine Enthusiast
Part of the select group of impressive wines from this year, this wine is ripe, rich and firmly structured. Black-currant fruitiness forms the base for solid tannins and a concentrated texture. The hints of wood-aging need to soften.
Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
Quite nice for the vintage, and it's going to drink well young, which is something you do not often find in Leoville Barton. The wine provides a medium bodied, early drinking, soft textured, cassis and plum character, with hints of cedar, tobacco and earth. A few years in the cellar should be about right.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2013 Léoville-Barton has a more backward bouquet compared to the Langoa-Barton 2013, but there is more perfume here with blackberry, a touch of sea spray and cold limestone. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannin, a crisp line of acidity with finesse and elegance on the finish, which is one of the best you'll find in Saint Julien. This finishes with a flourish after a conservative opening and it should yield a decade of pleasure, maybe more. This is a solid showing in a tough vintage.
Druvor
