Château Léoville Barton
1995RedCabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet FrancBordeaux, France
Léoville Barton is an Irish-owned Bordeaux estate that has been in the same family since 1821 — one of the rare properties that never built a fancy winery yet consistently makes wine that punches above its price. The 1995 is a classic, age-worthy Médoc from a very good vintage.
