"In 2018, the Léoville-Barton, a top Bordeaux estate, produced a top-notch wine at a reasonable price. The 2018 Léoville-Barton is a masterpiece of Saint Julien style, with a bouquet of opulent blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum fruits, cedar, cocoa, violet, herb, and toasty oak tones. The flavors are luscious and attractive, with exotic nuances of herb, cedar, cigar-box, cocoa, and baking spice." - Wine Review Online
