Lip smacking stuff, with 2005 energy and excitement. Gets more serious as it opens, revealing black pepper spice, sage, rosemary and white pepper. A wonderful wine, one to sink into. You can easily wait to drink this, and it will reward another three to five years in bottle, then go for decades. If you do open it, give it a long carafe. 50% new oak.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Pts; Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast - *Best of Year 2008, Cellar Selection*\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e'Power and elegance merge effortlessly in this superb wine.

The estate also produces an excellent second wine, La Réserve de Léoville Barton, a red wine made from younger vines. The vineyard spans 51 hectares, planted with 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chateau Leoville Barton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53986894643384,"sku":"SKU-260826082124","price":595.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.vauclusecellars.com.au\/products\/chateau-leoville-barton-2005","provider":"Vaucluse Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
