The 2012 Leoville Barton has a medium to deep garnet-brick color. It wafts effortlessly out of the glass with evocative scents of boysenberries, juicy black plums, and crème de cassis, followed by earthy/minerally suggestions of iron ore, pencil lead, and charcoal. The medium-bodied palate offers a firm, grainy texture and bright acidity to counter the taut black fruit and earthy nuances, finishing long and energetic. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
