Chateau Leoville-Barton St. Julien 2002 Wine Review (NW)

Tasting notes:

Opens with a beautiful nose of berries and tobacco

Full bodied on the palate

Rich and intense finish of black currant, spices, and tobacco with good length

Summary:

Excellent wine, and one of my favorite reds from Bordeaux! It's fully integrated and harmonious with a style that's pure Bordeaux classic. The release price was around $50 but expect to pay $100 now if you see it available.

We paired it with grilled, sliced sirloin over a bed a greens. Fabulous, of course! Raise a glass!
