Very ripe and fruit with lots of mature berry and plum character. Full body, round tannins and a savory finish. Juicy. Mar 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com

Very fresh, with a sleek frame around bright red currant and plum notes. Shows really good cut through the finish. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com
Almost timid on the nose, this wine is so polite. After you … Quite a bit of acidity compared with some. Very straight-backed rather than full of pleasure. Just depends on your preferred style - but this certainly builds towards an impressive finish. Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2027-2042
Both the Barton wines are impressive in 2015, with this one just the lighter of the two. It’s still got plenty of structure and oak, but the elegance of the patrician Cabernet is very pure and transparent here. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2022-2030
About the producer
Hugh Barton purchased this estate, alongside Second Growth Ch. Léoville Barton, in the 1820s. Classified as a Third Growth and run by Lilian Barton with her children Damien and Mélanie today, the 20 hectares of vines produce some of the appellation’s most elegant wines – and at reasonable prices.
