• Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

  The elegant, spice box, cedary, oaky, red and black currant-scented and flavored 1997 Leoville Barton reveals surprising softness, medium body, low acidity, and ripe tannin...I would not be surprised to see it improve in the bottle...(RP)

• Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

  Good red-ruby. Currant, plum and smoky oak on the nose. Fat, suave and smooth; not a powerful style but offers lovely depth of flavor. Finishes with rather smooth tannins and good length. (ST)

• Wine Spectator

  Good berry, mineral character, with a hint of chocolate. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a fresh finish. (JS)

  I have to say I really like the 1997s from both châteaux. On the nose of the ’97 Léoville there is dried plum and cassis, spice and tobacco, with a bit of dried herbs and minerality. The palate is just a bit astringent still, but filled with lovely dark fruit, more herbaceousness, earth and mushroom notes. The finish lingers with dried mushroom and minerals.
