Reserve Leoville Barton Size:12x750ml full-bodied and powerful flavors isTasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux tasting. The 2012 Rserve de Loville Barton has a fruit driven, open, pure raspberry and crushed strawberry scented bouquet that is simple but designed to seduce. "Punter friendly," as they say. The palate is medium bodied with a sweet entry, fleshy in the mouth, soft tannin with a smudged, easy drinking, commercially minded finish. Tasted January 2016.
