Score 84/100 · Drink 2016-2021, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Oct 2016

Tasted blind at the Southwold Bordeaux tasting. The 2012 Réserve de Léoville-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.

Tasted blind. Cassis and ripeness and pretty raw but a bit more fruit than some of its peers. (JR)
