Chateau Leoville Barton 1990 Saint Julien 6 x 75cl / 12.5%

This lot contains six bottles of 1990 Chateau Léoville Barton from Bordeaux's Saint-Julien appellation.

'Believe it or not, the 1990 Leoville Barton can actually be drunk - something that cannot be said about the broodingly backward, still excruciatingly tannic 1982. The exceptionally concentrated 1990 reveals more polished, sweeter tannins along with a big, sweet kiss of black currant, forest floor, cedar, and spice box notes. While it still has some tannins to shed, this full-bodied, powerful, long wine is approachable. It should continue to evolve for another two decades. 93+/100' Robert Parker, tasted 2009

This lot comes from the temperature-controlled cellar of media businessman and wine enthusiast Lord Evgeny Lebedev, where they have been kept since purchase direct from UK importers.
