Chateau Leoville Barton Saint Julien 2009 Big Red MonsterA bold, strapping young wine, with vivid plum, cassis, kirsch and black licorice notes that meld steadily as they cruise through, carried by a bolt of graphite and finishing with a flourish of violet, anise and apple wood. Mouthwatering in the end. Built for the cellar. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2030 through 2045.

After aging we combine and hand finish back into bourbon casks to produce a very smooth sublime drinking experience
as well as hints of menthol and fresh leather
very well balanced wine with fresh acidity
The 2018 Hindsight Retrospective is a wonderful choice for current consumption or 8-10 years aging in the cellar
