Good red-ruby. Currant, plum and smoky oak on the nose. Fat, suave and smooth; not a powerful style but offers lovely depth of flavor. Finishes with rather smooth tannins and good length. Score: 89 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 01 May 2000 |

The elegant, spice box, cedary, oaky, red and black currant-scented and flavored 1997 Leoville Barton reveals surprising softness, medium body, low acidity, and ripe tannin. Drink it over the next decade. I would not be surprised to see it improve in the bottle, and possibly merit a higher score. Score: 86 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2000-2010 30 April 2000 |

Good berry, mineral character, with a hint of chocolate. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Score: 88 James Suckling, Wine Spectator 31 January 2000 |
