Wine Spectator, March 2006

Intense blackberry and cherry with hints of currant. Toasted oak and sweet tobacco too. Roses and other flowers such as lilacs. Full-bodied with masses of tannins yet incredibly long and seductive. Best after 2012. 18330...

jebdunnuck.com, December 2017

The 2003 Léoville-Barton was sensational on release, closed down slightly for 4-5 yeas, and is just now starting to emerge from its adolescence and is on the early side of its drink window. Possessing a saturated...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 2014

A spectacular success, the opaque plum-colored 2003 Leoville Barton is still on the young side of its plateau of maturity. It exhibits a striking bouquet of forest floor and black currants as well as a full-bodied...

Wine Enthusiast, May 2006

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, May 2013

Tasted at Bordeaux Index's "10-Year On" tasting in London. The Leoville Barton 2003 has a lifted bouquet of blackberry, raspberry coulis, liquorice and flecks of dark chocolate - all very defined and focused. The palate...

Decanter,

69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc. Majoring on gourmet chargrilled black cherries, you feel the heat of the vintage, but in its exotic expression rather than a dusty one –there is clear integrity in...

jamessuckling.com, March 2011

Currants and plums with mint on the nose follow through to a full body, with soft and velvety tannins and a new wood, ripe fruit aftertaste. Tight and firm, but wait until after 2012 to pull the cork.
