Quite a pale rim. Very correct. Dry and fine. Notable acidity. Fresh. Fine. Pretty good for the vintage. Score: 16 - 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2004-2014 23 January 2008 |

It is no secret that Anthony Barton's efforts over the last decade at his St.-Julien estate, Leoville-Barton, is resulting in terrific wines at still reasonable prices. This estate has been extremely successful in recent vintages. One of the biggest, richest, most impressive wines of the vintage, Leoville-Barton's 1993 reveals a saturated black/purple color, dense, foresty, rich, blackcurrant, and chocolatey aromas and flavors, excellent ripeness and depth, good glycerin, and hard tannin in the finish. This is a backward, exceptionally well-endowed 1993 that needs another 5-7 years of cellaring. It should keep for 20 years. Score: 88 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2002-2017 01 February 1997 |

Léoville Barton continues to move up. Bright berry flavor and a lovely, silky tannin structure. Wonderful ripe fruit and long, delicious finish. Very well made. Score: 88 James Suckling, Wine Spectator 31 January 1996 |
