Great value Bordeaux - 2003 Leoville Barton

Picked this up fir around £100 and boy does it punch above it's weight. From a warmer vintage but a producer leaning towards structure and tannins, this is in a great spot now. Normal right bank notes with emphasis of blackcurrant, leather, dark wood and quite a bit of blood giving it some opulence. Paired beautifully with well-aged rump and ribeye steak over wood fire, after about 2hr decant. Remainder of the bottle had after a further 2 hours, at which point cassis, clove and surprisingly some floral notes were dominating. A bit less serious than a bottle of 2003 Montrose I had a few months ago but actually more enjoyable, for about half the price. Definitely the best BDX I've had at this price point. 93.5
