Neal Martin
The 2011 Leoville-Barton has an endearing nose with well-defined red berry fruit, cedar, pencil box and light sous-bois aromas that unfold with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine depth and precision, well-integrated oak and a tensile, quite saline finish that is elegant and persistent. This is a beautiful 2011 that should age with style. Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting. 93 points

A classic Leoville-Barton that deserves to sell well, this is aromatic and bright, with Asian spices, dark plums and some sweet bramble and cassis flavours framed by fresh acidity and grainy, subtly extracted tannins. Fans of `off vintages` from this reliable chateau would do well to buy a case or two and cellar it. 10+ years. 95 points
