Leoville Barton St. Julian - 1985 (750ml) Teroldego Fat Orange CatThe 1985 is a gorgeous example that may well represent a more modern day clone of the splendid 1953. Dark ruby garnet with an open knit, complex, ripe nose of sweet red as well as black currants, vanilla, fruitcake, tobacco, cedar, and earth, the wine is medium bodied with exceptional sweetness, soft tannin, and a supple, very nicely layered finish. A classic midweight Bordeaux, it will drink now and over the next decade. Robert Parker 92 points
