Château Léoville Barton St.-Julien 2015 (750ml) Sierra Foothills

Château Léoville Barton St.-Julien 2015 (750ml) Sierra FoothillsThe 2015 is a deep garnet red. The nose is very intense with lovely maturity on red fruits (raspberry, cherry) and black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry) notes. A touch oaky. A swirl round the glass opens more complex aromas of peony, liquorice, blackcurrant liquor and cocoa. A lovely mouthfeel, densely packed and seductive. Present but soft tannins give the wine a classical profile. The finish is long and slightly toasted. Blend: 54% Cabernet
